About
Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna (Mapúa MCL) is a private research and nonsectarian college wholly owned subsidiary of the Mapúa University in Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines. Founded in January 23, 2006, the college was established by the Mapúa University to bring its renowned engineering, maritime, and technological education to Southern Luzon. A branch in Davao named Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao was established in 2018, marking the official start of the institutions' operations in Mindanao. Mapúa MCL offers 9 undergraduate programs, including two modified by its collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU). The institution’s location relative to Cabuyao's industrial sector provides students with significant opportunities for industry immersion and professional development at established corporations. Mapúa MCL achieved autonomous status in 2019, 13 years after its establishment, making it the youngest college in the country to attain this recognition. It has had a string of successes over the years which include 100% passing rates in several licensure and certification examinations, and the high employment rates of graduates – all of which have helped Mapúa MCL secure its ranking as the 3rd HEI (higher educational institution) in Calabarzon.
