Hence in the same year, three programs were awarded Level I status by AACCUP. These were BSED of USeP Tagum and Obrero, BEED of Obrero and Forestry and Agricultural Engineering of Tagum. Today, 16 of its undergraduate programs are accredited.Now in its 38th year, the University has all the reasons to be proud of its achievements in the areas of instruction, research, extension, production, and administration. Within this period, the university is establishing a niche as a center for academic excellence in Mindanao – a reputation it has acquired through persistence and constancy of purpose in the pursuit of quality and excellence in all its undertakings. The University of Southeastern Philippines had made and will continue to make performance as a yardstick to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of its distantly located but diversely-rich university network of campuses.
It has been almost 27 years since the passage of Batas Pambansa Blg. 12. The failures and the successes of more than two-and-a-half decades of operations in the areas of instruction, research, extension, and administration have immensely contributed to what the University of Southeastern Philippines is now. This is USeP today. In the sphere of instruction, existing academic policies and curriculum offerings of the different colleges and campuses of the USeP are aligned with the demands of the market and of the economy. To date, USeP is offering 56 academic programs (two for Doctoral degrees, 27 for Masteral degrees and 27 for Baccalaureate programs) in the fields of Engineering, Education, Arts and Sciences, Economics, Computing, Governance, Development, Resources Management, Technology, Agriculture and Forestry. Enthused by the noble undertaking of imparting quality education through its commitment to maintaining a high level of quality standards, the University of Southeastern Philippines has continued to voluntarily submit itself to accreditation.

To fulfill its vision to become a modern state university at the cutting edge of academic excellence and at the forefront of research and development, the university demands excellence from its teaching force.Majority or 54 percent of the faculty members have Master’s degrees, 29 percent of them have Bachelor’s degrees while the remaining 17 percent possess Doctoral degrees. The outstanding performance manifested by USeP Engineering graduates during board examinations instigated the Commission on Higher Education’s (CHED) to declare USeP as a Center of Development in Engineering, specifically in Electrical Engineering (EE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE).
Also, the quality of performance of its alumni in the different government, non-government and private organizations and companies have brought into USeP various scholarships from congressmen, senators and private individuals and companies for USeP students and faculty. In order to contribute markedly to the maximized use of Mindanao’s potential resources towards the well being of its people, the Research Division of the university has always worked for responsive research and development projects relevant to the university’s academic programs including food productivity and sustainability, technology, industrial fields, nutrition, health and resources management. Also, USeP is now the base agency of Southern Mindanao Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Consortium (SMARRDEC), a 19-member consortium of line agencies and research institutions in agriculture and agri-related research and development.
Similarly, the Extension Division has incessantly undertaken programs and outreach services in the communities through agriculture and fishery projects, capability-building programs, computer literacy and education, livelihood videotape showing, household skills training and others. Realizing that endeavors would be best met through convergence and partnerships, the university has explored means to establish linkages. To date, the University of Southeastern Philippines has inked partnerships with World Bank, Philippines-Australia Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao, Southeast Asian Ministries of Education Organization, Regional Center for Vocational and Technical Education and Training in Brunei Darussalam (SEAMEO VOCTECH), Philippines-Australia Human Resource Development Facility, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Department of Science and Technology, PhilRice, National Computer Center, Department of Energy, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Resources for the Blind, Inc., SMART Philippines, SMARRDEC, Southern Mindanao Industry, Energy, Research and Development Consortium (SMIERDEC), DARUMA Tech, Inc., PCAMMRD, Mindanao Studies Consortium, Davao City Colleges and Universities Network (DACUN), and MSTPC.

The integration of these institutions paved the way for the birth of the five USeP campuses namely: the Davao City main campus in Obrero with an area of 6.5 hectares; the Mintal campus, Davao City that has an area of 2.8 hectares; the Tagum campus, Tagum City with a 77-hectare land area; the Mabini campus which lies in a 109-hectare land area in Mampising, Mabini, Compostela Valley Province; and the latest addition, Bislig campus in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur with an area of 9.7 hectares.
