Entrepreneurial Management The Entrepreneurial Management (EM) Program of the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) is the only Bachelor of Science program that captures and nurtures entrepreneurial talent as early as the adolescent years. The EM Program (EMP) is a tough, intense, holistic, and integrated formation program that is uniquely designed to breed young entrepreneurs and develop them into well-rounded individuals who are mentally sharp, socially adept, emotionally mature, physically fit, and morally grounded. With this program, you will be challenged to start your business as early as the college level. Our Curriculum You will undergo an interdisciplinary curriculum that is grouped into five learning clusters: The General Education Cluster English Filipino Natural Sciences Arts History Political Science Communication Arts The Personal Formation Cluster Personal Development Series Ethics Theology Philosophy The Business Foundation Cluster Accounting and Finance Economics International Business Business Law and Taxation The Management Foundation Cluster Human Resource Management Operations Management General Management Management Information Systems Corporate Philosophy The Entrepreneurship Cluster New Business Ventures

Our Faculty Unlike other college curricula, the EMP curriculum demands a three-fold blend of classroom instruction, mentoring intervention, and experiential (field) learning. Faculty members are thus required to be flexible and well-grounded on various teaching and learning technologies. In pursuit of understanding and channeling the energies of your creative entrepreneurial mind, EM faculty development is given a premium. All faculty members are constantly exposed to the latest research and development in the fields of management, entrepreneurship, education, and psychology. Our Graduates You can be, like our many graduates, among the country’s youngest and most distinguished entrepreneurs. True to the program’s mission of forming holistic and innovative start-up business owners, EMP graduates are spread across the country’s business and entrepreneurial landscape.

EMP alumni continue to be a moving force behind the country’s economic development, a testament to the program’s uniqueness and achievements.

Our New Business Venture Series The New Business Venture (NBV) Series is the true measure of EMP’s success in forming you into an entrepreneur, as you are challenged to integrate all your knowledge, skills, and talents and use these in establishing your successful business. The term “successful” is not used loosely. Every EM student knows that, without a viable business at the end of the series, he or she will not be allowed to graduate from the program. The NBV Series confronts you with the following issues in the Entrepreneurial Process: • Creating or identifying the opportunity • Marshalling the resources required to exploit the opportunity • Taking risks and action, managing the exploitation of the opportunity • Reaping, sustaining, and renewing growth and rewards • Reconceiving a mature business
