This study aimed to assist and measure the extent of the implementation of the key areas of the Graduate School Program at St. Paul University Surigao. Examining the level of its attainment was the basis for coming up with a quality road map for sustainable development of the Graduate School Program. This study was based on the extent of implementation of the key areas rating result as perceived by the university administrators, graduate school faculty members, and staff and the criteria set by the PACUCOA in each program rating result. This study used a quantitative approach and descriptive methods of research. The data of this study were sourced from the respondents, which investigated the correlation between the quality education perceived rating by the university and the PACUCOA accreditation rating. It further investigated the quality of education in the SPUS Graduate School program offerings based on PACUCOA accreditation rating. The findings of this study revealed that St. Paul University-Graduate School was consistent in rating the key area on the Philosophy and Objectives as the highest and followed by the Administration across all programs. The PACUCOA and SPUS both rated the key areas of, Philosophy & Objectives and Administrators as the highest rating across all programs, although they differed in the number of percentages which meant they both believed that administrators or school leadership had become a priority in education policy agenda both local and international. There was a significant difference between the university's rating for quality education and the university’s PACUCOA accreditation rating. The self-performance rating of the SPUS Graduate School from the different programs on the PACUCOA standards was the same. PACUCOA rated the key area on “Curriculum and Instruction” as the highest rating across all programs except for the MPA program compared to the University rating. Although, the University rated “Curriculum and Instruction” as the lowest rating in all programs except for the MPA program, which was interpreted as “Very Good.”
