Mean, frequency, standard deviation, and percentage were used as descriptive statistics while z-test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha level for inferential statistics. A researcher-prepared questionnaire duly validated and tested for reliability was used to gather relevant and reliable data. Results showed that respondents were “satisfied” in terms of collegiality, program schedule, relevance of curriculum content, instruction, facilities and support services when taken as an entire group. No significant differences were noted in the level of satisfaction in terms of collegiality, program schedule, relevance of curriculum content, instruction, facilities, and support services when respondents were classified according to sex. Moreover, there was no significant difference among respondents in terms of instruction when they were classified according to civil status, age, degree program enrolled, and employment. However, significant differences were observed in terms of these categories when they were classified according to civil status, age, degree program enrolled, and average family monthly income. Data were processed and analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and results were presented in tsables.
