UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

First Year College Admission

Admission to Ateneo de Manila University's undergraduate programs, under the Loyola Schools, is open to qualified individuals. Admission is determined by the applicant's fitness and preparation for the college programs, ability to contribute toward the enrichment of the undergraduate school community, and potential to be of service to one's fellowmen within the context of national development.

The Committee on Admission and Aid is responsible for selecting the new members of the student body. It bases its decisions principally on the results of the Ateneo College Entrance Test, on past academic performance, on the recommendations of teachers, and on information written down on the application form.
