ATENEO - REGIS MBA PROGRAM
Distinctive Features
The Regis Program is designed for senior managers and executives whose corporate responsibilities limit their time in pursuing graduate degrees. A college diploma and a minimum five-year work experience or those in supervisory, managerial or executive positions (if the applicant failed to meet the five-year work experience requirement) are necessary for admission.
1. Partnership between Ateneo De Manila University and Regis University
Ateneo de Manila University and Regis University, a recognized Center for Adult Learning in Denver, Colorado, in the United States, entered into a Program Development and License Agreement in October 1997. Under the agreement, the two Jesuit institutions, through the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and Regis University’s International Studies Program and its Graduate School of Business, committed to develop an MBA program designed specifically for adult learners.
2. Student-Centered Learning
The program is student-centered rather than professor-dependent. Although the professor may still deliver lectures, his facilitation skills are essential to bring out the experiences of his adult students. For this reason, individuals undergo a faculty assessment process to determine qualification to teach in the Regis program.
3. Faculty Assessment Process
The assessment process includes a twenty-minute presentation on an assigned topic in a facilitative mode, an interview, a leaderless group activity, an essay on value-centered education, and a test on evaluating and grading student papers. The assessment process and the training of facilitators were designed by Regis University.
4. "Accelerated" Aspect
The program is commonly referred to as “accelerated” because each course is taken in an eight (8) week term, rather than the usual fifteen (15) week trimester. Although the number of weeks per term in less than in a trimester, the number of total class hours for a course varies only slightly.
5. Learning Style
There are types of students who, because of their learning styles, demands of work, family responsibility, and mobility cannot stay longer in the MBA program. They are capable of accelerating their learning pace on their own and with minimum intervention. They are independent learners who can make use of various media to obtain their leaning outcomes. This program is particularly designed for these types of learners.
