Mapúa University, in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), has unveiled a suite of new programs designed for working professionals seeking to enhance their skills and advance their careers. This partnership introduces innovative educational opportunities tailored to the evolving demands of today’s dynamic job market.
The centerpiece of this collaboration is the newly launched Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, spearheaded by Mapúa’s E.T. Yuchengco School of Business. This program is built on a curriculum that addresses the needs of modern business environments, focusing on developing leadership skills essential for driving change and fostering innovation. The MBA program integrates global immersion experiences, real-world experiential learning, and digital mastery to equip students with the tools necessary for success in a competitive business landscape.
The advantages of pursuing an MBA are well-documented, including the development of crucial hard and soft skills, expanded job prospects, and increased earning potential. With a growing number of Filipino students seeking higher education abroad, the cost of overseas education often poses a barrier. The Mapúa-ASU MBA program addresses this challenge by offering a globally enhanced curriculum and accelerated learning paths, designed to be completed within one year. The program features flexible schedules and mentorship from industry leaders, including figures from the Yuchengco Group of Companies and Ayala Corporation.
In addition to the MBA program, Mapúa University and ASU are offering a Bachelor of Science in Real Estate Management and a Master of Arts in Psychology. The BS in Real Estate Management program prepares graduates for careers in the evolving real estate industry by combining essential concepts and principles with a licensure-ready curriculum. This program covers industry-relevant laws and business management theories, ensuring students acquire expert-level knowledge in areas such as sales, brokerage, appraisal, and consultancy.
The Master of Arts in Psychology, also developed in collaboration with ASU, accelerates professional development in fields such as research, human resources, organizational development, and education. This program emphasizes real-world case studies and industry mentorship to provide high-level training and prepare graduates for advanced roles in their respective fields.
Dr. Dodjie Maestrecampo, President and CEO of Mapúa University, highlighted the strategic importance of these programs, “Our MBA Program, along with our MA Psychology and BS Real Estate Management programs in collaboration with ASU, are designed to give students a distinct advantage in their future careers. These accelerated programs offer a holistic academic journey that shapes futures through innovative learning models founded on Mapúa’s rich tradition of academic excellence”.
The collaboration between Mapúa University and ASU represents a significant step forward in providing accessible, high-quality education for professionals seeking to enhance their expertise and career prospects in a globalized economy.
