Asian Institute of Management has four schools, namely:

  • Washington SyCip Graduate School of Business (SyCip School) offers two degree programs: the 12-month Master in Business Administration and the Executive MBA program.

AIM used to offer a Rural Development Management Program in 1976, followed by a Program for Development Managers (PDM) in 1985. PDM then became the core course for the MDM program in 1989. The Center for Development Management at AIM was formally established as a school in 1991. It was renamed the Stephen Zuellig Graduate School of Development Management on March 13, 2014 in honor of Dr. Stephen Zuellig.
  • School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning (SEELL) is AIM's executive development arm. SEELL has two types of programs: Open Enrollment Programs and Custom Programs designed for the specific needs of the client organization. Open Enrollment Programs include programs for general management, strategy, operations, leadership and people management, innovation, and finance.
  • Aboitiz School of Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (ASITE) was established in 2017 and offers three programs: the 15-month Master of Science in Innovation and Business, the 14-month Master of Science in Data Science, and the 18-month Master in Entrepreneurship. The ASITE laboratory is called the Analytics, Computing, and Complex Systems (ACCeSs) lab.

International Student Exchange Program

Under the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), AIM's top MBA students are given the opportunity to study at a partner school in a different country. AIM partner schools are located in Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Switzerland, USA, and Venezuela.

Washington SyCip Memorial Fund

The Washington SyCip Memorial Fund was established after the passing of SyCip in 2017. A lead gift of US$5 million (or almost ₱260 million) was donated by an anonymous philanthropist.[14]
