The Ateneo Graduate School of Business (AGSB) opened its
doors in 1948 in Padre Faura, Manila.
The initial programs offered were those on English and the Arts. Eventually,
the programs for Economics and Business Administration were developed and
strengthened.
Business Administration has remained to be one of the
highlights of the AGSB roster of programs. In 1997, Ateneo developed a
partnership The Regis University in Colorado.
This partnership aimed to develop a MBA program that was specifically made for
adult learners.
In 1998, AGSB moved to its permanent campus at the Rockwell Center
in Makati City. At around the same time, AGSB decided
to expand and open offsite campuses. The intention was to provide students in
key cities of the Philippines
with quality graduate education without travelling to Manila.
The Cebu campus was one of
these offsite locations. It opened in 2001 in the CCI Building
in Pier 3. In 2006, the school transferred to its current campus in Cebu Business
Park.
The professors from Rockwell travelled to Cebu
every few weeks to teach the classes there. The Cebu
campus initially offered only the Ateneo-Regis program. Rockwell decided to
offer only one program to the test the MBA market in Cebu.
They gave the site one year to prove that there was real potential to hold a
permanent offsite campus in the city. The campus started with just two subjects
offered per term and 20 initial students. Today, the Regis Program offers three
subjects per term. And on average, there are 25 students or more in each class.
In 2002, the Ateneo
Center for Continuing Education
started to offer short courses in various work disciplines in Cebu. In 2008, the Standard MBA was included in the
programs offered as well.
The first batch of Ateneo MBA students graduated in 2004. To
date, there have been 78 Alumni from the Cebu
site.
