VSU met and surpassed set goals for its higher education programs which is proof of the university’s strategic planning, rigorous implementation, and continuous monitoring of performance indicators. 

This also involves an effort from the administration, faculty, and staff to align their efforts with the targets outlined in the GAA.

The second Physical Performance Achiever for achieving 100% actual accomplishments on the indicator “Percentage of Undergraduate Programs with Accreditation.” This award highlights VSU’s commitment to maintaining high academic standards and ensuring quality education.

VSU's resource efficiency is evident in these awards. Recognizing all performance indicators and full accreditation of undergraduate programs under the 2023 GAA indicates the university's commitment to quality education and high academic standards.
