The
Ateneo
Education
History of the Ateneo de Manila University and the Loyola Schools
The Ateneo de Manila University traces its roots to 1859 when, at the request of the City of Manila endorsed by Governor Norzagaray, the Jesuits took over the Escuela Municipal in Intramuros, the walled City of Manila. A primary school originally intended for the sons of Spaniards, it was opened by the Jesuits to native Filipinos as well. In 1865, the Jesuits received government approval to add a five-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
In keeping with its new academic status, the school was renamed the Ateneo Municipal de Manila. Among the graduates in those early decades was Jose Protacio Rizal, A.B. 1877.
With the withdrawal of the city subsidy in 1901, the school became a private institution dropping the word "municipal" from its official title. In 1921, the American Jesuits of the Maryland- New York Province replaced the Spanish Jesuits as teachers and administrators of the Ateneo de Manila.
The Intramuros fire of 1932 completely destroyed the Ateneo de Manila buildings, forcing the school to move to a new location on Padre Faura Street, Ermita. During the battle for the liberation of Manila, the Padre Faura complex of buildings was razed. Temporary structures were quickly built. Post-Japanese occupation, Ateneo de Manila offered its first two Master’s degree program in Education and English Literature, in 1949. In 1952, the Ateneo de Manila moved to its present spacious campus in Loyola Heights, Quezon City.
In 1958, the Society of Jesus in the Philippines was raised to the status of a full province. Administration of the Ateneo de Manila passed from the New York Province to the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus, and shortly after, its first Filipino Rector/President was named. Since, the growth of the Ateneo de Manila demanded a new status, the school obtained its charter as a university in 1959.
In 2000, the School of Arts and Sciences of the Ateneo de Manila was restructured into the Loyola Schools comprised of four schools: the School of Humanities, the School of Management, the School of Science and Engineering, and the School of Social Sciences.
Today, the Ateneo de Manila University celebrates 158 years as a Jesuit educational institution in the country. The University comprises the following units of higher education: the School of Humanities (SOH), the John Gokongwei School of Management (JGSOM), the School of Science and Engineering (SOSE), and the School of Social Sciences (SOSS), collectively known as the Loyola Schools (LS); and the Ateneo Graduate School of Business (AGSB), the Ateneo Law School (ALS), the Ateneo School of Government (ASOG), and the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPH), collectively known as the Ateneo Professional Schools. In addition, like most Philippine universities, it has a basic education unit composed of grade school, junior high school, and senior high school noted for high educational standards. The Loyola Schools, the basic education units, and the ASOG are located on the Loyola Heights campus, along Katipunan Road, Quezon City. The AGSB and ALS are located on the Rockwell campus, Makati City. Finally, the ASMPH is located at the Don Eugenio Lopez, Sr. Medical Complex, Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City. The University is also home to the Ateneo de Manila University Press, Ateneo Art Gallery, Ateneo Leadership Institute, Confucius Institute, University Research Ethics Office, and social
2 development centers such as: Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED), Ateneo Institute of Sustainability, Gawad Kalinga-Ateneo, and Pathways to Higher Education.
A number of Centers are part of the Loyola Schools. These are the Ateneo Center for Asian Studies (ACAS), Ateneo Center for Economic Research and Development (ACERD), Ateneo Center for English Language Teaching (ACELT), Ateneo Center for Organization Research and Development (Ateneo CORD), Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship (ACSENT), Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC), Ateneo Institute of Literary Arts and Practices (AILAP), Ateneo Java Wireless Competency Center (AJWCC), Ateneo Language Learning Center (ALLC), Ateneo Ricardo Leong Center for Chinese Studies (ARLCCS), Ateneo Teacher Center (ATC), the Eugenio Lopez, Jr. Center for Multimedia Communication at the ADMU, the Fr. Jaime C. Bulatao, S.J. Center for Psychology Services (Bulatao Center), Institute of Philippine Culture (IPC), JGSOM Business Resource Center (JGSOM BRC), Ateneo Family Business Development Center (AFBDC), and Asian Center for Journalism at the ADMU (ACFJ).
Vision and Mission of the Ateneo de Manila University
As a University, the Ateneo de Manila seeks to preserve, extend, and communicate truth and apply it to human development and the preservation of the environment. As a Filipino University, the Ateneo de Manila seeks to identify and enrich Philippine culture and make it its own. Through the education of the whole person and the formation of needed professionals, and through various corporate activities, the University aims to contribute to the development goals of the nation.
As a Catholic University, the Ateneo de Manila seeks to form persons who, following the teachings and example of Christ, will devote their lives to the service of others and, through the promotion of justice, serve especially those who are most in need of help, the poor and the powerless. Loyal to the teachings of the Catholic Church, the University seeks to serve the Faith and to interpret its teachings to modern Philippine society.
As a Jesuit University, the Ateneo de Manila seeks the goals of Jesuit liberal education through the harmonious development of moral and intellectual virtues. Imbued with the Ignatian spirit, the University aims to lead its students to see God in all things and to strive for the greater glory of God and the greater service of mankind.
The University seeks all these, as an academic community, through the exercise of the functions proper to a university, that is, through teaching, research, and service to the community.
3 The Strategic Goals of the Ateneo de Manila University
A strategic plan for the Ateneo de Manila University
“The world is not yet finished. This garden is not yet finished. We have to work the earth. Things will not just grow. Things need us for them to grow.”
Jose Ramon T Villarin, SJ President
When the Jesuits arrived in the Philippines in 1859, they were missioned to proceed to Mindanao. Waylaid by political forces, they were instead asked to put up an educational institution in Manila, and thus was born Ateneo de Manila.
This “accidental” mission has now become a premier educational institution in the country and the region. From a small primary school serving Manila's colonial elite, Ateneo has grown into a full- fledged university, an institution with significant contributions and influence, through the work of its students, faculty, and alumni.
But as the world continues to evolve, so must the Ateneo. As we turn 160, we look back to our heritage and history, and at the same time, look towards a complicated yet promising future.
Keeping in mind the challenges of the modern world, and rooted in the spirit of "Lux in Domino," we articulate our goals as one university, which we hope to achieve by 2030. All for the greater glory of God - ad majorem Dei gloriam.
4 Enhance strategic markers of Jesuit education Strengthen in our students the markers of a Jesuit education, by nourishing our liberal arts core and continuing the Ignatian tradition of integral formation. Develop new, cutting-edge and relevant curricula and programs, training students to practice transdisciplinarity with an authentic global perspective.
Strengthen our influence in building the nation and the Asia Pacific region Influence policy and action as a truly national and global university by establishing social development programs, think tanks, policy centers and research units, commit to engage actively with government and civil society to work for a more humane and just society.
Increase access to Ateneo education Establish a more diverse studentry and academic community, strengthen institutional linkages that result in a borderless presence globally, and explore possible new campuses.
Ensure continuity of university leadership Enrich the continuing formation of administrators, faculty, professionals and staff. Institutionalize a recruitment, retention and succession program, to attract the best people and resources.
Sharpen the distinct character of Ateneo’s educational mission Distinguish Ateneo as the premier Jesuit educational institution in the Philippines and in Asia.
5 Purposes and Aims of the Loyola Schools
The Loyola Schools seeks to achieve in an eminent way the goals articulated in the mission statement of the Ateneo de Manila University.
The Loyola Schools is concerned primarily, though not exclusively, with the pursuit of these goals through the imparting of a liberal education. It seeks to develop in its students the basic liberal arts of thinking and communicating thought, and to bring them into contact with all that is good in their distinctive Filipino heritage, and indeed, in the cultural heritage of the human race.
At the same time, the Loyola Schools introduces the students to fields of specialization in which they pursue, in greater detail and with greater attention, one particular area of knowledge suited to their individual talents and goals. Through a program of truly co-curricular activities, it seeks, both on and off campus, to make its students aware of the needs of the nation, especially of the underprivileged, and to help them recognize their potential power to transform Philippine society. It thus seeks to encourage its students to strive courageously towards a more just and equitable world.
The Loyola Schools seeks to build an intellectual tradition within the specific context of the developing nation, wherein the principal problem is the concentration of wealth, power, and access to quality education and public services within a small segment of the population, with the vast majority deprived of the material and spiritual resources necessary for human development. It, thus, seeks to couple the traditional Jesuit educational objective of academic excellence with a sense of service and justice today demanded by our Faith.
The Loyola Schools, through its Graduate Programs, seeks to further the purposes and aims of the University by imparting to its students a high degree of competence in research or professional practice in one of the academic disciplines. It has a special concern for the formation of educators who will contribute to the excellence in the Philippine educational system, and for the formation of scientists, researchers, professionals, creative artists, writers, and others, who will contribute to the development of Philippine society.

Scholarships and Financial Aid SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE LOYOLA SCHOOLS
Introduction
Graduate education is a stage where leaders are prepared to take on the role as innovators and change agents in their own organizations and communities. As such, graduate students, through their enhanced intellectual and research capacities, are expected to contribute not only to knowledge production but more importantly to the advancement of policy and practice.
In the Philippines, 88% of HEIs are privately-owned but enrollment in public vis-a-vis private colleges and universities are almost equal. This implies that access to private higher education institutions in the country remains to be elusive.

It responds to the university’s commitment to the education of the whole person by providing a broad range of degree programs that are grounded in theory, informed by practice, global in perspective, and rooted in and culturally sensitive to local needs and realities.
Goals of Scholarship for Graduate Students
Ateneo de Manila University - Loyola Schools offer various scholarship and financial aid opportunities to: 1. make its graduate education more inclusive and accessible to those who are intellectually capable but financially constrained; and 2. support current graduate students in the various stages of their studies.

This program requires no thesis writing.
The Master in Pastoral Ministry is intended for those opting for a wider, more general professional theological background, particularly involving subjects in Biblical Theology, Systematic and Sacramental Theology, Moral Theology, or Pastoral Theology.

VI. Doctor in Ministry
The Doctor of Ministry is designed for Religious Educators, Catechetical Coordinators, Retreat Directors, Seminary Formators, Chaplains, Spiritual Directors and Pastoral Counselors. Being a Professional Ministerial Performance degree program, it is distinct from the Doctor of Philosophy in Theology program which focuses primarily on academic creative research.
The DMin program instead: 1. centers on developing the theological and pastoral formation needed for advanced practice of effective ministry; 2. integrates theory and practice in a “practical theology” approach to pastoral ministry, integrating its biblical, theological, and pastoral dimensions with relevant social science contributions toward excellence in ministry;
69 3. assists professionals in the delivery of faith-based services by deepening their understanding of, and commitment to, the practice and experience of ministry through courses and workshops; and in the process, developing enhanced ministerial skills, evaluating current ministerial practices, and research and creation of pastoral projects.
In relation to the MA professional degrees currently being offered by the Theology and Ministry Program, with specialization in Religious Education, Family Ministry and Counseling, and Spirituality and Retreat Direction, the Doctor of Ministry is an advanced degree program requiring: 1. More advanced courses and requirements in the field of concentration that would further develop and enhance their expertise in their area of ministry; 2. Six (6) units of apprenticeship courses under the guidance of an expert in one’s area of concentration;1 3. a doctoral dissertation that should be of practical assistance to persons working in faith- based dissertations, and designed to increase the ability of the candidate to integrate theology, the practice of ministry and the learning acquired through supervision.
Areas of Specialization 1. Religious Education Since the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines, “integral formation in the faith has been officially proclaimed as the top pastoral priority of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. The need for professionally trained catechists and religious educators especially for catechetical coordinators in Catholic and public schools, as well as those in charge of the diocesan catechetical ministry offices, has been constantly growing and never more urgently felt than at present. There is a clear demand for the DMin Program in Religious Education
In response to this objective, nationwide need, the DMin Program, major in Religious Education focuses on the professional formation of catechetical or religious educational leaders and coordinators on the performance level. This essentially involves a developed integration of theory and practice and experience in leadership ministerial skill, and the like.
Prospective Student Applicants: The Program aims at those already working in the catechetical and religious educational field, who desire to step beyond their Masters’ educational level in developing and updating their performance, knowledge and skills.
2. Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care Distinct from Guidance or Clinical Counselling, pastoral counseling involves human and spiritual care and as such is a standard ministry in the Church, a practice of religion, which is avowedly and explicitly psycho-spiritual in approach.
Rooted in the best of Catholic Christian tradition of cura animarum (care for souls) and by integrating theology and spirituality with modern psychological thought and method, the DMin with a concentration in pastoral counseling and spiritual care aims to train pastoral
1 Each course includes 48 hours of practicum of ministry in a more specific area of Religious Education or Spirituality and Retreat Direction. For those specializing in Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care, each course includes 75 hours of face-to-face counseling in designated counseling centers, 25 service hours plus counseling supervision (10 supervision hours).
70 counselors who can continue the tradition of healing, sustaining, guiding and reconciling. Healing beyond emotional illness to wholeness; sustaining beyond hurts to endure; guiding beyond confusion to clarity; and reconciling beyond broken relationships to right relationships.
Hence, a pastoral counselor with a Doctoral in Ministry in this area of specialization hopes to achieve 1) an incorporation of the body of knowledge common to the field of counseling theory and practice with ministry; 2) the development of specific counseling skills; 3) an ability to enter into a therapeutic alliance; 4) to go beyond pain and enter responsible choices; and 5) a clear understanding of one’s role as a minister.
The Doctor of Ministry Program does not aim to prepare students to take the Philippine Licensure Examinations intended specifically for guidance counselors, psychologists and psychometricians. While guidance counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers are licensed and regulated by various governmental boards, pastoral counselors such as priests, pastors, chaplains, lay pastoral counselors in the parish, hospital or prison setting are regulated by various ecclesiastical governing structures such as the diocese or various religious congregations which run such pastoral counseling centers, like the Center for Family Ministries and the Emmaus Center for Psycho-Spiritual Formation of the Society of Jesus, both affiliate units of the Ateneo de Manila University.
Fields of ministry of religious and lay pastoral counselors today are parishes (e.g. marriage preparation, marriage counseling), convents and seminaries (religious formation), military, police, hospital and prison chaplaincies, mortuaries, rehabilitation centers.
Prospective Student Applicants: Prospective students in this area of specialization are those who are already working tin the field of pastoral counseling.
3. Spirituality and Retreat Direction The general aim of this area of specialization is to explore the various Christian spiritualities, with special focus on Ignatian spirituality, and their significance and fruitful application to different peoples and cultures in a rapidly changing world. The specific objective of this specialization is the advanced training and formation in Spiritual Direction, Retreat Direction and Supervision of Spiritual Directors and Retreat Guides.
Prospective Student Applicants: As a ministry-oriented program, the DMin Spirituality and Retreat Direction aims at those already working in the field of retreats, recollections, spiritual direction and lay and religious spiritual formation in general, who desire to step beyond their Masters’ educational level in developing and updating their performance, knowledge and skills.

Master of Science / Master in Chemistry Education The MS/M in Chemistry Education is aimed at meeting the need for giving content courses to teachers of chemistry in colleges and high schools in the country. It is designed: 1. to promote independent, student-centered learning; 2. to make the independent work relevant to the needs of the students; and 3. to facilitate timely completion of the program.
90 The program consists of 32 units; 26 units are academic courses largely based in the Department of Chemistry, with possible electives from the Departments of Education, Psychology, or other science departments while the remaining 6 units are allotted to either a thesis or a two school-term project.
Students who opt for the Academic Track may concentrate on research in basic or applied Chemistry or scholarly work in the area of Chemistry Education. On the other hand, students who choose the Professional Track can do two term papers (related or different) on innovations in the teaching of Chemistry, studies on chemical instrumentation and applications, and related areas. The Professional Track is especially suitable for practicing teachers.
The undergraduate prerequisite for the program is a BS in any natural or physical science. Education graduates with strong specialization in the sciences, especially in Chemistry, may also be considered for admission.
Target Clientele The MS/M Chemistry Education program is geared towards college instructors who teach chemistry to non-chemistry majors, as well as high school teachers, including those teachers teaching advanced chemistry classes in special science tracks. The needs of these three groups are met by the design based on a solid core in the foundations of chemistry, which is then enriched by the appropriate sequence of elective courses to meet the needs of the particular student. The capstone of the course is a sequence of either two semesters of project work for those seeking to integrate their learning within specific, concrete contexts, or a thesis for those who would like to do an in-depth, original study of a problem in chemistry education or chemistry.
Admission Requirements for MS/M Chemistry Education The undergraduate pre-requisite for the program is a BS in any natural or physical science. Applicants must also pass the Ateneo Graduate Degree Program Admission Test, including the College Qualification Test required for certain science program. Education graduates with strong specialization in the sciences, especially in Chemistry, may also be considered for admission upon consultation with the Graduate Programs Coordinator of the Department of Chemistry.

III. Master in Journalism
The Master in Journalism program is an innovative distance-learning program designed for working journalists, journalism educators, and members of allied media who seek to develop an Asian perspective in their work, to broaden knowledge, and to hone competencies and values they need to excel in their professions. Faculty members from Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States combine with students from various Asian countries to bring broad perspectives in class discussions, promoting a critical and cross-cultural understanding of current events and issues. This is made possible by the program’s unique mode of delivery: it is primarily an online program where students take a wide range of journalism subjects in a virtual interactive learning environment accessible over the World Wide Web.
The required subjects of the program are taught using a fusion of online and on-campus methods while journalism electives are taken purely online. Additional elective subjects available from other graduate programs in the Loyola Schools are held on-campus at the Ateneo de Manila University’s Loyola Heights campus. With this blend of methods, students congregate on campus for two brief periods during the two-year program: for two weeks in August and for the six-week intersession from June to July.
Students in the program complete their studies with a semester-long Master’s Project: a work or study of Asian journalism that puts to test and hones the student’s grounding in journalism theory and principles, ethics, and/or production expertise commensurate to the graduate study of journalism at the Ateneo.

Master of Arts in Japanese Studies
The Master of Arts in Japanese Studies is designed to provide a broad understanding of the Japanese people, their culture, historical development and contemporary problems. This is taken care of by the core courses on Japanese History, Japanese Society, Japanese Economy and Japanese Politics.
The program is also designed to interact with discipline-based programs in the Graduate School, namely, Sociology, Economics, Political Science and History. Basic courses in theory and research methodology will be provided by these departments. This is to provide the students with an analytical framework that is necessary in their conduct of research on Japan. The choice of discipline is left to the students, with the guidance of the Japanese Studies Program Director.
Objectives The MA in Japanese Studies aims to achieve the following objectives: 1. to contribute to the deepening academic knowledge on Japan, 2. to provide a flow of specialists on Japan with the high levels of practical and intellectual competence needed in the economy, the public service, the media and education, 3. to form specialists on Japan who can address the growing economic and political importance of the Asia-Pacific region, and 4. to create an original and substantial academic tradition of Japanese studies in the country.
Target Students 1. Japanese language teachers in colleges and universities who are interested in enhancing their teaching through a broader knowledge of Japanese culture, history and society and who need an MA degree for promotion.
