Ateneo Graduate School of Business

What Ateneo Graduate School of Business does

The Ateneo Graduate School of Business (AGSB) is the graduate management education constituent school of Ateneo de Manila University, a private Jesuit institution established in 1859 and located in the Philippines. AGSB operates two flagship graduate programs: the Master in Business Administration (MBA), offered across four tracks (Standard, Middle Managers MBA, accelerated Ateneo-Regis MBA, and specialized Health MBA), and the Master in Entrepreneurship (MEnt), positioned as "built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs." Both programs run on a trimester system and target working professionals, mid-career managers, healthcare professionals, and founders seeking applied management and ethical leadership formation oriented toward nation-building.

The school's instructional platform is built on the Canvas Learning Management System, which is used for course content delivery, student progress tracking, assignments, gradebook management, and communications. AGSB also runs the Center for Continuing Education, which hosts annual executive programming such as the Leaders Fellowship covering themes including AI leadership and employee happiness. The MBA program received AUN-QA (ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance) certification in March 2026, signaling regional quality-assurance compliance.

AGSB is a private, nonprofit educational institution wholly owned by Ateneo de Manila University. Revenue is generated through tuition and fees across its graduate programs and continuing-education offerings; financial figures are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led through admissions, the school website, on-campus events at the Rockwell Campus in Makati City and the main Loyola Heights campus in Quezon City, and corporate/academic partnerships. Adjacent applied-research activity is channeled through Ateneo BUILD, which has partnered with Packworks.io, STT GDC Philippines, and DoST-PCIEERD on AI tools for the Philippine microretail sector.
