The main objective of this study was to present a descriptive profile of DLSU MBA students, in terms of their personal, academic and working background. It also wanted to gather their opinions regarding the advantages or disadvantages of taking up MBA studies, whether MBA studies in DLSU have met their expectations, and to give suggestions as to how the MBA program of DLSU can be improved. The study used the correlational design in determining whether a relationship existed between respondents' perceived reasons for pursuing graduate business education namely, professional advancement, integration of knowledge, social relationship, social welfare, escape stimulation with achievement motivation. Respondents chosen were 235 MBA students of DLSU who were enrolled during the third trimester of school year 1984-1985. Questionnaires were used in data gathering. Descriptive statistics such as averages and frequency distribution expressed as percentages were used in presenting a profile of the MBA students. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used as the statistical tool in measuring the relationship between the variables. Significant correlations were obtained between professional advancement and achievement motivation, integration of knowledge and achievement motivation, escape stimulation and achievement motivation.
