Abstract: This study explores the feasibility of introducing a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Security Management (BSISM) program at Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU) Palimbang Campus. Currently, the campus offers limited programs—Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) and Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness (BSAB)—leading to stagnation in enrollment and significant educational and employment challenges for the local community. A thorough feasibility study revealed strong support for the proposed program based on a survey among 1,033 senior high school students from the four high schools in the municipality of Palimbang, and focus group discussions (FGDs) with nine BEED students, five parents, five teachers, and eight community leaders, ensuring that participant selection criteria included diversity in roles, representativeness, and availability to enhance methodological rigor. BSISM addresses gender inequality, out-of-school youth, and job market saturation while supporting local youth’s career goals, especially in law enforcement and security. The results demonstrate that BSISM is a workable way to increase accessibility to higher education, diversify academic offerings, and promote community development.
