Ateneo Law School
The Ateneo de Manila University School of Law (often referred to as Ateneo Law School) is the law school of the Ateneo de Manila University, a private Jesuit university in the Philippines. It was founded in 1936, in the Padre Faura St., Ermita, Manila campus of the Ateneo, where it remained even after the college, graduate school, and basic education units moved to Loyola Heights, Quezon City in the 1950s. In 1977, it moved to Salcedo Village in Makati, and in 1998, transferred to its present location in Makati's Rockwell Center. Its current dean is alumnus Jose G. Hofileña who succeeded Sedfrey Candelaria who, in turn, succeeded Cesar L. Villanueva. Its patron saint is Thomas More.
Ateneo School of Social Sciences
In 2000, the School of Arts and Sciences of the university, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, restructured into the four Loyola Schools of Humanities, Management, Science and Engineering, and Social Sciences. The departments of the school were formerly housed at the Social Sciences Building of the university, except for the Communication Department housed beside the covered courts, and the Manila Observatory. The Ricardo and Dr. Rosita Leong Hall, the school's present main building, was inaugurated in 2007. The Social Sciences Building now houses the Communication and Education Departments, the Psychology Department Laboratories, classrooms, and offices.
