What institution offer the Best MBA other than AIM and why? Is the program relevant to our present and future business settings? Is it catered to employees or entrepreneurs?

Aside from AIM which only offers a FULL-TIME MBA course, the ff. are the Philippine universities which to my mind has the BEST Part-Time MBA program (for working professionals) in order of ranking.

1. De La Salle University Manila MBA (3 campuses: RCBC Plaza-Ayala Avenue, Makati, La Salle Green Hills campus and the Taft Campus)

2. UP-Diliman MBA (Diliman campus)

3. Ateneo de Manila University MBA (Rockwell-Makati campus)

4. University of the East MBA (C. M. Recto Avenue-Manila campus)

When it comes to MBA in the Philippines, it's AIM and others. It is contstantly ranked as one of the best 9if not the best) in Asia. I'm sorry, Ateneo, UP and La Salle's MBA programs are not even worth comparing to AIM.

But you know that in a way, it's a consortiun among the top 3 universities? it's also a Jesuit chaplaincy.

O, mac_bolan00 chance mo na mag defend ng college mo.:p

I personally prefer the UP MBA over AIM’s. I’m reading MBA at Lancaster, UK. Here, UP and DLSU are both well regarded with more credence on the UP side.;)

I'm from the Ateneo but let's be objective, when it comes to MBA our schools are not in the same league as AIM. In a recent poll in Asiaweek, AIM ranks 3rd over-all in Asia and 1st in the Middle-Managers program.

We should be proud of AIM coz it's one school that proves that Philippine education can be world class.

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), the hardest MBA School to get into in the whole Asia (740 average GMAT) has gradually descended in the rankings for the same reason. Their graduates are among the most sought-after in the Fortune 500.

Do you guys have any idea how much the tuition is?

Locally, I'd say AIM is the best bet when it comes to MBA's. Its faculty boasts of having excellent credentials, having been trained by Harvard and schools in the Philippines such as the Ateneo and UP.

Go to www.aim.edu.ph and see for yourself.

Does anyone know about a "noncompetition clause" that AdMU and DLSU drew up when they established AIM in 1968, effectively barring these institutions from creating programs that competed directly with AIM to uphold AIM as the "premier institution for management education in the Philippines?"

[mac_bolan00]

yep, i heard about the non-competition clause way back when i was applying but couldn't make head or tail about it.

shades of "atlas shrugged", 'eh? what a joke.

I'm curious about the specifics of this "non-competition clause". The only thing I could make out of it was that no other school in the consortium can establish a full-time MBA program. Does this also mean that none of the involved schools can improve their programs (ie. hire better teachers, research and publish, set-up a Phd program, etc.)?

Is there still a large demand for MBA graduates nowadays?

What will happen to US students who are taking MBAs, will you get work visas after you graduate?


The best MBA institutions are not located here, but in USA like Stanford, Wharton, UCLA, NYU, etc.


MBAs in the United States have their own specializations like Theory, Management, Finance, etc.



Maybe the students and alumni from the American universities can speak and market their MBA schools here.

After you graduate, you are entitled to remain in the US for 1 year to work or look for a job. Hopefully after that, your employer will agree to sponsor your continued stay. Demand for MBAs goes w/ the general economy, espescially since MBAs normally seek jobs in finance or consulting. Needless to say, even in times when the immediate demand is low, an MBA should be considered as a long-term investment. The insights that you will learn from top-caliber teachers and classmates and the strong professional networks that you will build make the time and opportunity cost that you invest in it worthwhile.

As for specializations, that trend is becoming a thing of the past. Before, certain schools like Wharton, Columbia, and Chicago were known for their strength in finance while Kellogg was famous for marketing and Yale in government. These days, the top business shools have changed their approach and are now focusing on training well-rounded managers that can take on all fields simultaneously. New complexities in managing organizations require people at the top to be able to handle different situations no matter what field is involved.
