The '''Ateneo de Manila University''' ([[Filipino language|Filipino]]: ''Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila;'' [[Spanish language|Spanish]]'': Universidad Ateneo de Manila;'') is a private research university in [[Quezon City]], [[Philippines]]. Founded in 1859 by the [[Society of Jesus]], the Ateneo is the third-oldest university in the Philippines. Ateneo offers elementary and secondary education exclusively to male students. The undergraduate and graduate programmes are coeducational and organized into four schools, collectively known as the [[Loyola Schools]], which are located at its main campus at Loyola Heights. Four professional schools occupy campuses in different parts of [[Metro Manila]].

Ateneo undergraduates follow a [[Catholic]]-rooted [[liberal arts]] curriculum throughout their programs in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Science and Engineering, or Business Management. The [[Commission on Higher Education (Philippines)|Commission on Higher Education]] has recognized its units in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, information technology, entrepreneurship education, English literature, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and business administration as Centers of Excellence while the communication, electronics engineering, environmental science, history, Filipino literature, and political science units have been declared Centers of Development. The Loyola Heights campus also hosts two chemistry research centers: Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC) and National Chemistry Instrumentation Center (NCIC).

<!-- ==Summary history==
===1859 to 1959===
While Jesuit teaching efforts in Manila date back to 1595, the Ateneo de Manila University traces its founding to 1859 when the Jesuits, at the behest of the Governor-General, took charge of the Municipal School of Manila, a small school for the children of Spanish residents. In 1865 when it became accredited as a secondary school its name was changed to "Ateneo Municipal de Manila". It began offering the bachelor's degree, as well as courses leading to certificates in agriculture, surveying, and business. When Americans occupied the Philippines in the early 1900s, its subsidy from the city was withdrawn. The Jesuits removed the word "Municipal" from the school’s name and it became simply Ateneo de Manila. In 1908, the American colonial government licensed the Ateneo’s bachelor degree and certificates in various disciplines. The Ateneo campus housed other Jesuit institutions of research and learning such as the Manila Observatory and San Jose Major Seminary.
[[File:Heritage Bells.jpg|150px|right|]]
American Jesuits replaced their Spanish brethren in 1912. In 1932 the original campus at Intramuros in the heart of old Manila was destroyed by fire and the Ateneo moved to the San Jose Major Seminary grounds in [[Padre Faura]], [[Ermita, Manila|Ermita]]. Again during [[World War II]] the Ateneo campus was devastated. The Ateneo reopened temporarily in Plaza Guipit in Sampaloc, Manila. The Padre Faura campus reopened in 1946 with [[Quonset hut]]s serving as buildings among the campus ruins.<ref name="reyes">Soledad S. Reyes.

''Ateneo Alumni Guidon'', Vol. VII No. I, Vol. VII No. 2, and Vol. VIII No. 1</ref> In 1952, [[William Masterson|Fr. William F. Masterson, S.J.]], moved most of the Ateneo units to its present Loyola Heights campus. The Padre Faura campus continued to house the professional schools until 1976. Fr. Francisco Araneta, S.J., was appointed as the Ateneo de Manila's first Filipino Rector in 1958. In 1959, its centennial year, the Ateneo became a university.

===1960 to 2015===
On 25 September 1969, Pacifico Ortiz, S.J., was installed as the first Filipino President of the Ateneo de Manila.<ref name="guidon1">''The Guidon'' October 2004</ref> At this time the Graduate School split into the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and what would become the Graduate School of Business. In 1968 the Ateneo co-founded the [[Asian Institute of Management]].<ref name="AIM">[http://www.aim.edu.ph/content.aspx?id=151 "Historical Highlights"]. [c. 2008]. Asian Institute of Management Website. Retrieved 2010-02-13.</ref>
As student activism rose in the 1970s, Ateneans took an active role along with student organisations from other colleges and universities.<ref name="downfromthehill">Cristina Jayme Montiel and Susan Evangelista, eds. ''Down from the Hill: Ateneo de Manila In the First Ten Years Under Martial Law, 1971-1982.'' Ateneo de Manila University Press. 2005. ISBN 971-550-486-8.</ref> On 11 February 1986, alumnus and Antique Governor [[Evelio Javier]] was gunned down. Two weeks later, Ateneans joined thousands of [[Filipino people|Filipinos]] from all walks of life in the peaceful uprising at EDSA which ousted Ferdinand Marcos.
The Ateneo college opened its doors to its first female students in 1973. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences moved to Loyola Heights in 1976, and the Padre Faura campus finally closed in 1977 as the Graduate School of Business and the Law School moved to H.V. de la Costa St. in Salcedo Village, Makati. In February 1978, the Ateneo opened what would become the Ateneo Computer Technology Center.
[[File:Science Education Complex.jpg|thumb|Science Education Complex]]
In 1991 the School of Law became the first Philippine law school to confer the [[Juris Doctor]] degree. The Ateneo School of Government was established in 1996 and in 1998 Ateneo’s Rockwell campus, which would house the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Ateneo Law School, and Ateneo School of Government, was completed in Rockwell Centre in Bel-Air, Makati. Also, the Science Education Complex was completed in the Loyola Heights campus.<br>
In 2000, the School of Arts and Sciences which included the College and the Graduate School was restructured into four [[Loyola Schools]]: the School of Humanities, the John Gokongwei School of Management, the School of Science and Engineering, and the School of Social Sciences. In April 2002, the office of the university president established Pathways to Higher Education-Philippines, one of the university's outreach initiatives, with the help of the Ford and Synergeia Foundations. In July 2002 the university [[Church of the Gesù (Philippines)|Church of the Gesù]] was completed in the Loyola Heights campus. In 2003, the Ateneo entered into its partnership with [[Gawad Kalinga]], its first formal, university-wide social action programme.

Midway through 2006, the Manuel V Pangilinan Centre for Student Leadership was completed.<ref>[http://www.ateneo.edu/ateneo/www/UserFiles/71/ls/lsb/lsb_aug-sept06.pdf lsb_aug-sept06</ref> The [[Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health]] facility in Ortigas welcomed its first batch of professional students in June 2007.

===Social initiatives===
[[File:Church of the gesu.jpg|thumb|The [[Church of the Gesù (Philippines)|Church of the Gesù]]]]
The Ateneo has grounded its vision and mission in the Jesuit educational tradition which engages with the world at large, leading the university to be involved in civic activities. Social involvement is a key part of Ateneo education, integrated into the curricula of practically all university programmes.<ref name="pr2005">Ateneo de Manila University President's Report 2005</ref> [[Social entrepreneurship]] is also integrated into many of its academic programmes.<ref name="Newsweek081808">[http://www.newsweek.com/id/151702 "The Classroom Reality:The Jesuits are educating the rich about the poor in their expanding network of private schools."] Newsweek International, 18 and 25 August 2008. Retrieved 13 August 2008.</ref>

The Ateneo's social projects include the Ateneo-Mangyan Project for Understanding and Development (AMPUD) and Bigay Puso in grade school and the Christian Service and Involvement Program, Damay Immersion, and Tulong Dunong programme for senior students in high school. In college, social development is fostered by programmes of the Office of Social Concern and Involvement, including house-builds with Gawad Kalinga, and the Ateneeo Labor Trials Program tied into junior Philosophy classes. Student organizations and offices of the Loyola Schools also operate their own social involvement programmes.<ref name="pr2005"/><ref name="pr2006">Ateneo de Manila University President's Report 2006</ref> At the Ateneo Professional Schools, programmes and units like the Graduate School of Business' Mulat-Diwa, the Leaders for Health Program, the Law School's Human Rights Center and Legal Aid programmes aim to form leaders.<ref name="pr2005"/><ref name="pr2006"/> Other Ateneo initiatives include Pathways to Higher Education for gifted, underprivileged youth and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) which conducts national teacher and principal training programmes.

The centrepiece social programme of the university is its university-wide social action programme in partnership with [[Gawad Kalinga]] which has helped build communities and schools in Payatas, [[Quezon City]], in many [[Nueva Ecija]] municipalities, and in three villages in [[Bicol Region|Bicol]]. GK-Ateneo has also driven Kalinga Luzon, the massive rehabilitation effort for victims of the late 2004 Luzon typhoons, GK Youth-Ateneo, arguably the largest and most active student social programme of the Ateneo, Kalinga Leyte, an ongoing programme which aims to provide long-term rehabilitation for the victims of the [[Southern Leyte]] landslide, and ongoing reconstruction efforts for typhoon-stricken Bicol.<ref name="pr2005"/><ref name="pr2006"/><ref name="aweboutreach">{{cite web|url=http://www.ateneo.edu/index.php?p=6|title=Ateneo de Manila University - Ateneo de Manila University|publisher=|accessdate=17 July 2015}}</ref>

===International exchange===

Individual units and departments are usually led by a vice president, with the exception of the basic education units which are led by a director who oversees the leadership of both the high school's principal and the grade school's headmaster. The Loyola schools and professional schools are led by their respective vice presidents who oversee school deans, who in turn oversee department chairs and programme directors.

In 2005, the Loyola Schools programmes of the Ateneo have been granted Level IV [[Education in the Philippines#Accreditation|accreditation]]—the highest possible level—from the [[Commission on Higher Education (Philippines)|Commission on Higher Education]] (CHED) through the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) and the [[Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities]] (PAASCU).<ref>''The Guidon.''

The Ateneo de Manila University (Filipino: Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila; Spanish: Universidad Ateneo de Manila;) is a private research university in Quezon City, Philippines. Founded in 1859 by the Society of Jesus, the Ateneo is the third-oldest university in the Philippines. Ateneo offers elementary and secondary education exclusively to male students. The undergraduate and graduate programmes are coeducational and organized into four schools, collectively known as the Loyola Schools, which are located at its main campus at Loyola Heights. Four professional schools occupy campuses in different parts of Metro Manila.

Ateneo undergraduates follow a Catholic-rooted liberal arts curriculum throughout their programs in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Science and Engineering, or Business Management. The Commission on Higher Education has recognized its units in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, information technology, entrepreneurship education, English literature, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and business administration as Centers of Excellence while the communication, electronics engineering, environmental science, history, Filipino literature, and political science units have been declared Centers of Development. The Loyola Heights campus also hosts two chemistry research centers: Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC) and National Chemistry Instrumentation Center (NCIC).


Academics

Programmes

The Ateneo offers programmes at the elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Its academic offerings include the arts, humanities, business, law, the social sciences, philosophy, theology, medicine and public health, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, environmental science, and government, with forty-eight Bachelor of Arts (AB), Bachelor of Science (BS), and Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degrees at the undergraduate level. At the postgraduate level there are forty-four Master of Arts (MA) and Master of Science (MS) degrees, six Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes, two Master of Laws concentrations, one Master of Public Management (MPM) degree, two professional Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Juris Doctor (JD) programmes, and twelve Doctor of Philosophy degrees. As is common in the Philippines, the primary medium of instruction is English, with a few classes taught in Filipino.

Social initiatives

File:Church of the gesu.jpg
The Church of the Gesù

The Ateneo has grounded its vision and mission in the Jesuit educational tradition which engages with the world at large, leading the university to be involved in civic activities. Social involvement is a key part of Ateneo education, integrated into the curricula of practically all university programmes.[16] Social entrepreneurship is also integrated into many of its academic programmes.[17]

The Ateneo's social projects include the Ateneo-Mangyan Project for Understanding and Development (AMPUD) and Bigay Puso in grade school and the Christian Service and Involvement Program, Damay Immersion, and Tulong Dunong programme for senior students in high school. In college, social development is fostered by programmes of the Office of Social Concern and Involvement, including house-builds with Gawad Kalinga, and the Ateneeo Labor Trials Program tied into junior Philosophy classes. Student organizations and offices of the Loyola Schools also operate their own social involvement programmes.[16][18] At the Ateneo Professional Schools, programmes and units like the Graduate School of Business' Mulat-Diwa, the Leaders for Health Program, the Law School's Human Rights Center and Legal Aid programmes aim to form leaders.[16][18] Other Ateneo initiatives include Pathways to Higher Education for gifted, underprivileged youth and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) which conducts national teacher and principal training programmes.

The centrepiece social programme of the university is its university-wide social action programme in partnership with Gawad Kalinga which has helped build communities and schools in Payatas, Quezon City, in many Nueva Ecija municipalities, and in three villages in Bicol. GK-Ateneo has also driven Kalinga Luzon, the massive rehabilitation effort for victims of the late 2004 Luzon typhoons, GK Youth-Ateneo, arguably the largest and most active student social programme of the Ateneo, Kalinga Leyte, an ongoing programme which aims to provide long-term rehabilitation for the victims of the Southern Leyte landslide, and ongoing reconstruction efforts for typhoon-stricken Bicol.[16][18][19]

International exchange

The Ateneo has international linkages with several universities, institutions, and organizations, particularly in Asia, Australasia, North and South America, and Europe. Through these cooperative efforts, the university hosts visiting faculty and research fellows from institutions abroad, and in turn, Ateneo faculty members also engage in teaching, research, and study in institutions abroad.[20][21] International cooperation also includes active student exchange through Philippine immersion programmes for a month or two for small groups of 15-18 students or full study programmes wherein students from partner institutions abroad take regular courses.[20]

Students of the John Gokongwei School of Management, the School of Social Sciences, the School of Science and Engineering and the School of Humanities can also sign up for the Junior Term Abroad programme, which allows them to spend a semester in one of the Ateneo's partner schools for undergraduate studies.[20]

Since 2008, the Global Leadership Program was started for students from four Catholic, Jesuit universities in East Asia: Ateneo de Manila University in The Philippines, Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, Sogang University in South Korea, and Sophia University in Japan.[22]

Campuses

Currently, the main campus of the Ateneo is an 83-hectare (210-acre) property in Loyola Heights, Quezon City, Metro Manila.[23] This campus is home to the university's college and graduate school units, as well as its high school and grade school and junior high. Two other campuses, in Rockwell Center and Salcedo Village, both in Makati, house the university's professional schools of business, law, and government. A fourth facility in the Don Eugenio López Sr. Medical Complex in Ortigas Center, Pasig, houses its school of medicine and public health.

Overlooking the Marikina Valley, the 83-hectare main campus is located in Loyola Heights, along the eastern side of Katipunan Avenue, and is south of and adjacent to the campus of Miriam College. The Grade School, High School, and Loyola Schools are located in the Ateneo's Loyola Heights campus. Beside the Grade School is the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, built in 1995 to house the school's formal events and productions. Complementing the old buildings of the Loyola Schools are the Science Education Complex, as well as the PLDT Convergent Technologies Center-John Gokongwei School of Management Complex.[24] In 2015, the university broke ground on a center for visual, practical, and performing arts called The Areté, which will house the Ateneo Art Gallery, a 1,000-seat auditorium, a black box theater, and spaces for Ateneo's collaborative degree program with Le Cordon Bleu.

Within this campus is the Rizal Library, the main university library. Also located here are numerous units and research centres affiliated with the Ateneo, such as the Institute of Social Order, Institute of Philippine Culture, Institute on Church and Social Issues, Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowships, the Philippine Institute for Pure and Applied Chemistry, the Jesuit Communications Foundation, the Jesuit Basic Education Commission, and others. Also situated here are the East Asian Pastoral Institute, Loyola School of Theology, and San Jose Seminary, all Jesuit formation institutions federated with the Ateneo de Manila University. The Manila Observatory is also located on campus.[24] Athletic facilities include the Blue Eagle Gym, also known as the Loyola Center, standing at the southern end of the campus, and the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center (MLSC) on the northern end. The Blue Eagle Gym is one of the largest gymnasiums among the universities in Metro Manila while the MLSC is often used by the Philippine National Basketball Team as well as other professional teams for their training needs.[24]

The Church of the Gesù, completed in July 2002, stands on top of Sacred Heart Hill and overlooks the rest of the campus. The school's chapels include the St. Stanislaus Kostka Chapel and the Chapel of the First Companions in the high school, the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the college complex's Gonzaga Hall, the chapel at the Loyola House of Studies, and the Chapel of the Holy Guardian Angels in the grade school, among others. Not a part of the university but located on its campus is San Jose Major Seminary also has a chapel. Moreover, within walking distance of the campus are two parish churches: Our Lady of Pentecost and Santa María della Strada which includes the university in its territory.[24]

While the majority of its students live in Metro Manila, the university has three on-campus dormitories for college students: Cervini Hall, Eliazo Hall, and the University Dormitory. Located near the Loyola Schools, Cervini accommodates approximately two hundred male students, while Eliazo houses one hundred and sixty female students. The University Dormitory, completed in 2008, houses six hundred students. Other dormitories which are also open to college and graduate school students are those of the [Institute of Social Order], Arrupe International Residence, and the East Asian Pastoral Institute.[24] Those who desire to live off-campus reside in nearby accredited dormitories and condominiums such as Oracle Residences, FBR Building, Xanland Plaza, One Burgundy Plaza, Prince David Condominium, and Berkeley Residences, sharing study and living areas with students from the University of the Philippines, Diliman and Miriam College.

The Ateneo de Manila is also home to the largest Jesuit community in the Philippines, most of whom reside at the Jesuit Residence in the Loyola Heights campus. These Jesuits are involved in teaching, administration, and research within the university and its affiliated units.[24]

Recently, the majority of the units in the Loyola Schools Campus have been participating in the environmental initiatives started at the student organization and administrative levels. These have been grouped under the banner of the Ateneo Environmental Management Coalition, resulting in major changes in student lifestyle and resource management all over campus.

Rockwell Centre

The Rockwell Centre campus of the Ateneo de Manila University houses the Law School, Graduate School of Business, School of Government, AGSB-BAP Institute of Banking, and the Ateneo Centre for Continuing Education.[24] The campus was donated by the Lopez Group of Companies to the Ateneo de Manila University. It includes several research centres, a moot court facility, and the Ateneo Professional Schools Library.[24]

Salcedo Village

The Salcedo Village campus houses the different facilities of the former Ateneo Information Technology Institute (AITI) and the Ateneo Center for Continuing Education (CCE). This facility formerly housed the Professional Schools prior to the completion of the Rockwell campus in 1998.[24]

Ortigas Center

The Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health at the Don Eugenio López Sr. Medical Complex in Ortigas Center, Pasig, opened its doors to its pioneering batch of students in June 2007. Beside the ASMPH is its partner hospital, The Medical City.[24]

Library system

The Ateneo library system comprises several libraries housed in the Loyola Heights campus and the Professional Schools campus. The university's main library is the Rizal Library located in Loyola Heights. The Ateneo Professional Schools Library is housed in the Professional Schools building. Also included in the library system are the libraries of the Ateneo grade school, high school, and those of the East Asian Pastoral Institute and the Loyola School of Theology.[25] Libraries of other Jesuit universities in Naga, Zamboanga, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro are linked to the Ateneo de Manila Libraries.

In 2007, the Rizal Library's resources were estimated at more than 500,000 items. It housed rare Filipiniana items including a permanent exhibit of Rizal memorabilia, the Trinidad Pardo de Tavera collection, the American Historical Collection, the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings (ALIWW), and other special collections and manuscripts by Filipino scholars, writers, and artists.[24] A new five-storey Rizal Library building was completed in 2009 and opened in November of the same year, housing the library's circulation section, the undergraduate and graduate reserve sections, the multimedia collection, the periodicals collection, the Japanese collection, online database access terminals, an information commons, and the Library's technical services facilities. The former Rizal Library building will now be known as the Rizal Library Special Collection, and houses the Microform Reading Center, Art Book Collection, Filipiniana Section, American Historical Collection, the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings, the Pardo de Tavera Collection, and the Theses and Dissertations collection.[26]

The Professional Schools Library holds one of the largest collections of materials in the fields of law, business, and government in the Philippines.[24]

The Ateneo Art Gallery is housed in the Rizal Library's Special Collections Building. The gallery is the first museum of modern art in the Philippines, and is the only museum in the country dedicated to the collection, display, and interpretation of Philippine modern art. The heart of its collection is a large selection of post-war art donated to the university by Fernando Zóbel de Ayala.[24]

University Archives

Villarin, S.J., oversees key initiatives related to academics, international programmes, university development and alumni relations, personnel, security, and other university-wide concerns.[28] Fr. Villarin succeeded Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, S.J., on 1 June 2011.[29][30]
Individual units and departments are usually led by a vice president, with the exception of the basic education units which are led by a director who oversees the leadership of both the high school's principal and the grade school's headmaster. The Loyola schools and professional schools are led by their respective vice presidents who oversee school deans, who in turn oversee department chairs and programme directors.

In 2005, the Loyola Schools programmes of the Ateneo have been granted Level IV accreditation—the highest possible level—from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).[31] In 2011 it was also granted Institutional Accreditation by the same body, the first time that both citations were awarded to a university simultaneously.[32] Ateneo de Manila is one of few universities granted autonomous status by CHED, which likewise recognizes a number of the university's programmes and departments as Centers of Excellence and Centers of Development.
The grade school and high school divisions both have the highest (level III) of accreditation from PAASCU and FAAP.[33]

Student organisations

Among the fifty-two university-accredited student organisations, the Ateneo College Glee Club is the most internationally renowned. The oldest university chorale in the Philippines, ACGC has participated in numerous international choral and choir competitions including the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing.[34][35]

The Ateneo Debate Society, the premier undergraduate debate organization of the Ateneo, is the highest-ranking debate team in the Philippines and Asia, and often in the top 10 of the World University Debate Rankings since the mid-2000s, peaking at no. 7 in 2012. It is currently in 13th place.[36]
