yes pwede. pero parusa sa katawan kung sabay-sabay.

there is a MBA crash course in AIM, i think full time, 1 or 1.5 year(s) lang, pero grabe yung schedule. that's what my brother's gf is taking up.

that's what i don't like about ateneo MBA programs (of course this is my personal view)....they try to segregate the less experienced people with those in middle management level. if you are at a 'startup' of your career and wanted to get more from MBA...what would you get if all your classmates are just like you who have 2~4 years experience? i prefer the DLSU MBA program...no segregation....but a little bit more expensive than ateneo.

There are certain universities in Singapore and Hong Kong that have direct tie ups with Top Tier MBA Programs in the U.S. Try to search for it.

In the field of finance (my field), I observed that most of the fast trackers are from U.S. MBA Programs (Wharton, University of Chicago, and Kellog Northwestern). Locally, I know of guys who graduated from La Salle MBA and AIM MBM who are now senior guys in financial institutions.

I don't know about other fields but in finance, there is such a thing as "old boys club" whereby senior guys who graduated from a certain school has a strong tendency to recruit grads of his school to be part of his team!
I define senior guys as "vice president/first VP/senior VP and up."

actually sir, na review rin ako ng curriculum ng La Salle (since priority ko sana siya kasi sa Benilde ako nag graduate)... comparable siya with the Ateneo Standard MBA...

though mas maganda ang mga subjects ng Middle-Manager & Regis ng Ateneo... no offense - but parang pang undergrad yung ibang subjects ng standard program.

AIM is good nga daw... but is expensive! around 45K/term daw...

mazdamazda: I was also a graduate of DLSU-Engg, but in my opinion, the curriculum being offered at the Ateneo-Regis program is geared more towards Sr. Managers/ Directors/ VPs. Also, I would recommend the experience of discovering the AdMU culture.

OT: On the IT side, my sister who is a graduate of DLSU:IT and who is on postgrad studies at the same school, is saying that DLSU is offering a better curriculum than AdMU.

Di ba SAP Admin ka, if I remember correctly?

If money were no object:

1. USA (High GMAT required)
2. UK / Australia (not so high GMAT at may kasama pang migration plans hehe)
3. Singapore (I think Nanyang Technological University has a tie-up with some US schools)
4. AIM
5. Admu and Lasalle

Whatever you decide, the network/contacts you make in the post graduate study will be more than worth what you spent. Plus, the exposure to different management styles and paradigms (lalo na kung may foreigners) will be very good for you.

good luck

am presently taking my MBAH (MBA with specialization in health care services) in ateneo graduate school of business (agsb) in rockwell. every saturday lang pasok namin 9 am to 4 pm. very convenient kasi tailored (i believe) for doctors.

am on my second to the last term. malapit na.. just have to finish this term and do my strama (strategic management paper) and hopefully defend it by dec 2006. then tapos na! wohoooohoooo!

so far, okay naman...

so i can say that aside from being a Thomasian, Atenean na rin pala ako...

and proud of it!
