Mabalacat City College (MCC)

Mabalacat City College (MCC) was originally established in 2008 as Mabalacat College.

The college is located in Mabalacat in the Philippines, a city in the province of Pampanga close to the capital city, Manila.

The college is divided into five institutes: the Institute of Teacher Education, the Institute of Computing Studies, the Institute of Hospitality Management, the Institute of Arts and Sciences, and the Institute of Business Education. Within each institute are different departments, which offer a range of both undergraduate and graduate degree programmes.

Throughout the academic year, the college contributes to the local community by offering a range of academic programmes and employment schemes in return for vocational jobs and placement opportunities for students.

From cultural events and sports competitions to community service initiatives, there are plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in the university community.

In 2024, MCC received the Times Higher Education Digital Innovation of the Year Award for its smart classrooms which enabled greater accessibility for all students, particularly those who could not attend in-person classes.
