AB in Interdisciplinary Studies	details > contact >
X close AB in Interdisciplinary Studies Duration: 4 years Course description: The Bachelor of Arts major in Interdisciplinary Studies was introduced as a response to the need sounded in the academia for the greater dialogue among departments and scholars, and to the more practical need of the students for flexibility. Since it's institution in the late 1970s, the program has produced graduates active in the fields of law, business, education, sports, and the arts. The program rests on the belief that reality is complex and multidimensional. Thus, any attempt at understanding reality and discoursing on the same can be reached — and only provisionally so — after the critical synthesis of the various methodologies and knowledge of the different disciplines. What is learned is not only “truths, ” but also the premises underlying and legitimizing these “truths.” The program, therefore, prizes open-mindedness, broadness of vision, reflexivity, and a commitment to knowledge. The program also recognizes the individuality of each student. Instead of dismissing the particular (and sometimes idiosyncratic) inclinations of students, the program mines and hones these in the belief that education is self-perfection for the better service of society. Thus, in addition to receiving the humanistic training required by the Ateneo core curriculum, I.S. Majors design their own course of studies, based on their interests and strengths, and given the actual means and services of the university, under the supervision of the Department Chair. The terminal requirement for the degree is a monograph (called the senior paper) in which the I.S. Major integrates the skills, knowledge, and methodologies learned from the classes he or she took, to probe, critique, and explain issues, to suggest feasible and sound solutions to specific problems, or to produce substantial creative work. With proper guidance and the student’s own commitment, the I.S. Program hopes to engender students equipped in the intellectual rigors — and pleasures — of creativity and synthesis, critical thinking and analysis, reflection and self-reflexivity. It is the mission of the Interdisciplinary Studies Department to develop well-rounded students who are able to see beyond disciplinary lines, who are able to synthesize knowledge gained from different disciplinary perspectives, who have professional skills in disciplines of their own choosing, and who are equipped to view and respond to the world from a holistic perspective.

X close PhD in Sociology Course description: The Ph.D. In Sociology degree program is the most significant addition to the current programs so far. Its objective is to provide interested and qualified individuals a program of studies that will enable them to receive the highest academic degree in general sociology. The training required also reflects the Department’s goal of providing students with the highest level of skills for analyzing social phenomena with scientific rigor, for assessing ideologies of social reform, for comprehending various perspectives on social change, and for searching for designs of programs enhancing people’s welfare. Additionally, the program is a response to the demand for Ph.D. Training in sociology in the Philippines in the face of increasing costs of training abroad and the clamor for professional training in the country. It takes advantage of the presence of a competent faculty in the Ateneo campus and the University’s access to other highly trained individuals outside, the library and other facilities that the University provides, and the Department’s reputation for providing qualified students a high level of professional training towards a degree within an appropriate amount of time. The program should thus be considered an opportunity for the interested and qualified to obtain the necessary training and the formal degree bestowed only on those who have undergone that training. It is for the interested, because only individuals with a genuine interest in and commitment to sociology as a field of study are likely to withstand the demands of the training involved. It is for the qualified, because the rules specified by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Ateneo de Manila Graduate School, and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology must be satisfied both for entrance and graduation in the program. The overlap between the Ph.D. Program in sociology and the Master’s program in cultural anthropology is consistent with the Department’s belief that the interests of sociology and anthropology converge in many important domains, and that applying a combined perspective in analyzing Philippine and Third World issues would be more beneficial than applying a single-disciplined perspective. The Ph.D. In Sociology program thus builds on the current M.A. In Sociology, M.A. In Anthropology, M.S. In Social Development, and M.S. In Applied Sociology and Anthropology programs of the Department. Contact >>
