    1. CurriculumThe ACM program consists of general education subjects, basic and integrating business subjects, major subjects, electives, internship and thesis.  The general education curriculum complies with the mandated courses specified by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as well as general courses required by the University.  General education courses are taught by academic staff from the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science.  There is also a set of business and professional courses taught by the faculty of the Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business (RVRCOB) and the School of Economics. This serves as the signature education of business students.ACM students take basic and integrating business subjects offered by the Management and Organization Department as well as a unique set of major subjects. These unique subjects prepare students for their internship and thesis. The management internship component is taken across three alternate terms during the junior and senior years of an ACM student. Students enrolled in an internship are not allowed to enroll in any other academic course so that they can focus their 40-hour week on practical learning. There are also three subjects with respect to the thesis component.ACM students take a total of 185 academic units and 10 non-academic units. The subjects and its prerequisites are summarized in a course checklist given to all freshmen. This checklist is binding between DLSU and each student. There can be no changes in the curriculum mid-stream. Should there be a necessity to make changes in the curriculum and its flow, this is made applicable only to incoming freshmen.
