Ateneo de Manila University Graduate School is the graduate education division of a Jesuit university located in Loyola Heights, Quezon City, Philippines. It offers master's and doctoral programs across disciplines linked to professional practice, public service, and scholarship, connecting with national and international institutions. The school integrates Jesuit pedagogy with research and community engagement in collaboration with organizations across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
The graduate school traces its roots to postwar expansions influenced by figures such as Pedro Arrupe, Ignatius of Loyola, and the broader Catholic Church educational networks, evolving alongside institutions like University of Santo Tomas, De La Salle University, and University of the Philippines. In the late 20th century it responded to needs articulated by agencies including the Department of Education (Philippines), the Commission on Higher Education (Philippines), and regional consortia such as the ASEAN University Network. Its development mirrored trends seen at Harvard University, Yale University, University of Oxford, and University of Cambridge in professional graduate education reforms. Partnerships formed with entities like the Asian Development Bank, World Bank, and United Nations specialized agencies shaped program offerings. Notable administrative periods connected to leaders influenced by John Courtney Murray, Ignatius Reilly, and international Jesuit universities such as Georgetown University and Sophia University contributed to curricular direction. The school refined graduate offerings during policy shifts influenced by laws like the Higher Education Act (United States) parallels and regional agreements including Bologna Process-inspired harmonization.
Programs span master's and doctoral degrees in fields comparable to those at London School of Economics, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Columbia University. Offerings include degrees aligned with professional bodies such as Philippine Nurses Association, Philippine Association of Schools of Public Administration, and sectoral agencies similar to National Economic and Development Authority (Philippines). Graduate curricula engage with areas represented by institutions like Wharton School, INSEAD, IESE Business School, Harvard Kennedy School, ILO, UNESCO, and World Health Organization frameworks. Interdisciplinary programs connect to centers and collaborations that echo projects at Johns Hopkins University, University of California, Berkeley, and Australian National University.

Prospective students often come from feeder institutions like Ateneo de Manila University School of Law, Ateneo de Manila University School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, De La Salle College of Saint Benilde, Mapúa University, and Philippine Normal University.
