How to Apply

Graduate admission at the Ateneo follows four steps, and unlike undergraduate admission, the exam comes before the interview:

  1. Fill out the application form, available at your program’s Graduate School office (see contacts below).
  2. Take the entrance examination. Schedules vary by school; some programs administer the exam every Saturday morning, so check with your specific Graduate School office for the current schedule.
  3. Submit your documents once you pass the entrance exam:
    • Official Transcript of Records
    • PSA-Authenticated Birth Certificate
    • Authenticated Marriage Contract, if married
    • Honorable Dismissal from your last school attended
    • Two 2×2 color photos
  4. Sit for an interview with the Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs of your school.

Where to Apply

Each school manages its own graduate admissions. Reach the office for your program directly:

For International Applicants

Foreign applicants follow the same four steps above, with additional requirements for the documents you bring from abroad. Your Transcript of Records, Birth Certificate, and Diploma or Certificate of Graduation must each be apostilled or authenticated by the Philippine Embassy, along with a notarized or authenticated Certification of Financial Support. If you are 18 or older and pursuing a course beyond high school, you will also need a student visa before you can enroll.

Credit and Residency

Graduate credits earned from other Philippine schools are evaluated by your Program Coordinator. Credits from foreign schools are evaluated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), upon the recommendation of your Program Coordinator or Director and the Assistant Dean of the Graduate School. Every graduate student completes a residence requirement of two semesters at the Ateneo, carrying a minimum load of six units per semester.
