VSU Tolosa continues to establish itself as one of the top criminology schools in Eastern Visayas, exceeding the national passing rate in the February 2025 Criminologists Licensure Examination. 

With an 85.60% passing rate among its 107 first-time examinees, well-above the national average of 60.51%, VSU Tolosa secured a second place under Category A (for schools with 100 or more first-time examinees) as recognized by the Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines Integrated Professional Organization-Region VII (PCAP IPO-Region VIII). 

Out of 125 total examinees, 115 #ProudViscans from VSU Tolosa passed the licensure exam, achieving an institutional passing rate of 74.68%. 

The PCAP IPO-Region VIII, led by Regional Governor Dr. Eleazar S. Balbada, recognized VSU Tolosa for this achievement for its role in shaping future professionals in law enforcement and criminal justice. 

VSU Tolosa Chancellor Dr. Quenstein D. Lauzon expressed her pride in the examinees and the entire university. 

“We are very proud of our new Criminologists. Their success comes from their hard work and the support they received and this achievement was made possible by the efforts of our students, faculty and staff, the entire VSU Tolosa academic community,” Dr. Lauzon said.
