Abstract
This study evaluates the achievements and employment patterns of BS Accountancy, BS in Accounting Information Systems, and BS in Entre-preneurship graduates from Sorsogon State University Bulan Campus (2019-2023). It assesses the extent of Program Educational Objec-tives (PEOs) achievement, analyzes employment rates, and gathers employer feedback on graduates' competencies. Using a descriptive-survey design, data were collected from recent graduates, employers, and notable alumni. Findings indicate high success in achieving PE-Os, strong employment rates, and positive employer evaluations. Recommendations include curriculum updates, enhanced industry partnerships, and expanded career services to further support grad-uate success.
