Brief History
On October 10, 1973, the MSU Board of Regents approved the offering of the MBA Program on a semestral basis under the Institute of Development Management (IDM) as an extension program of the College of Business Administration, MSU-Marawi. The IDM was initially housed in the MSU-IIT as a separate cost center known as the School of Development Management (SDM) under a dean.
BOR Resolution No. 198, S. 1981 converted the MBA program into MBM program with two options, thesis and non-thesis, offered on a trimestral basis. In April 1985, the said program became the college of Business Administration's Graduate Division, headed by a Program Coordinator and supervised by both the CBA Dean and the Dean of the Graduate School.
After eighteen years under the trimestral schedule, the MBM curriculum was again converted to the semestral schedule on May 31, 1999. This is embodied in BOR Resolution No. 62, S. 1999.
The revised curriculum features a solid foundation in tool and functional management courses enhanced by seminars organized by students in each of the seven courses. As in the trimester curriculum, a student may choose between the thesis and non-thesis option. Instead of the 48 units required to be awarded the MBM degree, a student now needs only 42 units.
