MBA PROGRAMS
The MBA Program of the University of the Philippines aims
to help managers gain a distinct advantage in their profession, whether
they are in industrial, financial, government or non-profit institutions.
The MBA Program seeks candidates of high caliber -- i.e., students with
strong academic backgrounds, professional experience, personal maturity
and the interest and discipline to develop their managerial and leadership
potential. On the average, 50 students are admitted into the Full-time
Program, and twice as many in the Managers' Program.
To achieve this goal, the College offers a broad-based program curriculum
which hopes to strike a balance between technical training and practical
problem-solving, that is founded on current management theories and approaches.
It is complemented by case analyses, company/industry studies, business
games and other experiential learning methods. A conscious effort has
been made to develop a curriculum responsive to the unique features of
the Philippine and Asian environments. MBA students engage in an intensive
study in current management concepts and techniques through a core curriculum
covering the functional areas in business as well as economics, applied
mathematics and statistics and behavioral science. Students are encouraged
to gain added functional expertise by pursuing elective courses offered
at the College of Business Administration or in allied graduate units
of the University.
