History

Meycauayan College then named Meycauayan Institute is the first private high school in the then municipality of Meycauayan, Bulacan.

In 1980, the Meycauayan Institute was renamed Meycauayan College. The first college graduation was held in May 1981. From 1981 to 2004, the College Department has graduated 4,422 alumni and produced certified public accountants (CPAs) and licensed teachers. The Department of Education, Culture and Sports granted a permit to Meycauayan College to open its Child Study Center in 1985. Consequently, the Elementary Department was established.

A few years later, in the tertiary level, new courses were added — Bachelor in Elementary Education (1987) and Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (1990) — to replace BSC major in Accounting. In 1991, the Banking and Finance Course was changed to Financial Management. In 1993, Master of Arts in Education major in Psychology, English, Mathematics, Administration and Supervision, Physical Education and Educational Management was offered to cater the growing demands for higher education.

The school was granted permission by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to offer Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) in 1995. In 2003, the college offered Associate in Computer Technology, a two-year course in computer science. In April 2008, the revised and ladderized curriculum of BSCS was approved.

October 2008, the CHED gave 'Government Recognition' to operate Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM). A 'Government Permit' was granted to Meycauayan College to operate the first and second year levels of the Bachelor of Science in Travel Management (BSTRM) program and Bachelor of Science in Accounting Technology (BSAT).
