The Research Center

Overview

Research plays a huge role in higher education and, therefore, is an integral component of the college’s function in knowledge generation, analysis and dissemination. To continually develop, strengthen and sustain a functional and viable research and extension program, the institution must seek the evolution of a research culture of excellence within its halls.

It is thus important that PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF CRIMINOLOGY aims to develop a culture of excellence reflected in a research program guided by the college’s academic and organizational goals. To attain this, there is a need to treat the various curricula, the college’s educational delivery systems, and research collectively and integrally.

The translation of the College’s vision and mission into meaningful research activities is necessary so that it can generate, acquire, and apply knowledge for both institutional and national development. To aid in the institutionalization of these activities, the Research Center (RES), shall spearhead the institutionalization of a framework for PCCR’s research development and publication programs and activities.
