I finished my Masters in Business Management at UPLB last year. I chose it for two reasons:

First, the cost of the entire program is cheaper than one term at the Ateneo Graduate School in Sta. Rosa.

Second, and I think this is what really nailed my decision, was my brief initial chat with the (late) Chair of the Management Department. His simple pitch as to what makes UP different from other Master's degree programs: UP's professors are specialists in their respective fields and have devoted almost their entire careers teaching and researching on their subject matter of expertise.

This was somehow validated by feedback from other colleagues who took the Ateneo Regis program - they would have the same professor covering a variety of subject matters, as well as part-time faculty who have various experiences in different fields. Don't get me wrong - I am an Ateneo alum and I will always think highly of the institution. I felt just that what UP had to offer met my requirements almost perfectly.
