ASIAN INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION

The Bachelor of Sci-

ence in Business Admin-

istration program of the

Asian institute of Dis-

tance Education is one

of the courses initially

offered by the institute.

In February 1985, the

Bureau of Higher Educa-

tion, which was then

under the Department

of Education Culture

and Sports (DECS), au-

thorized the institute to

offer BSBA major in

Management.

The other programs

allowed by DECS to be

offered by AIDE then

were Associate in Arts

and Bachelor of Arts pro-

gram with majors in Eng-

lish, Economics, History,

Sociology and Political

Science.

Last May 9, 2017,

the CHED issued Memo-

randum Order 24 s.

2017 otherwise known

as the Policies, Stand-

ards and Guidelines for

the Bachelor of Arts in

English Language and

Bachelor of Art in Eng-

lish Language Studies.

Just like other programs

or courses in higher edu-

cation, the objective for

the change is to shift to

learning competency-

based standards and

outcomes-based educa-

tion which is required

under CMO 46 series of

2012.

See page 5

CHED MEMO ORDER NO. 17 series of 2017 sets the new poli-

cies, standards and guidelines for the BSBA curriculum which

supersedes CHED MEMO ORDER NO, 39 s. 2006 and follows

CHED MEMO ORDER NO. 46 s. 2012 in pursuance of an out-

comes-based quality assurance system.

As the Philippine high-

er education transitions

to a different landscape,

specially now that the K-

12 program has been

fully subsumed to the

basic education curricu-

lum, with its first batch

to graduate in school

year 2018-2019, all

courses in college are

also undergoing chang-

es and revision. Apart

from the implementa-

tion of K-12, the need to

conform with an out-

comes-based quality

assurance system is al-

so among the reasons

for such change.

See Page 2

BSBA Curriculum?

Article II of CMO 17 s. 2017 states that

As stated in the said CMO, the program is designed to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the English language—its origin, growth and

development, structures, and use. Also, the program should enhance the student’s competencies in the use of the English language in

real-world contexts and to present appropriate strategies of language use through a heightened awareness of how English works in differ-

ent situations in the Philippines and in Asia and the rest of the world.

Bound to maintain the minimum standards of quality as prescribed by the CHED, the Asian Institute for Distance Education will adopt the

abovementioned curriculum beginning School Year 2018-2019 . See page 6 for the continuation of Contents
