AIM president and dean Dr. Jikyeong Kang greets freshmen of the institute’s newest double-degree program.AUGUST 14, 2023 was historic in the annals of the Asian Institute of Management , as it launched its first-ever undergraduate program in its 55 years of existence.
The introduction of the revolutionary first-of-its-kind program to the region was made possible through the invaluable support of the Commission on Higher Education’s commissioner Dr. Prospero E. De Vera towards the vision of AIM president and dean Dr. Jikyeong Kang; C.T. Bauer dean Dr. Paul Pavlou; and AIM’s Aboitiz School of Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship—all of whom addressed the new students during the convocation on the said date.
Data Science and Business Administration, coupled with a Management Information Systems degree, is the “ultimate solution to address future requirements for commerce and enterprise, as well as set the foundations upon which the institute pursues its mission to lead, inspire, and transform Asian businesses and societies,” according to a statement from AIM.
