Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna (MMCL) 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 expand its presence in Laguna and 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.
MMCL offers 9 accredited programs, including two enhanced from its collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU). The institution's close proximity to the industrial hubs of Laguna provides students easy access to on-the-job training opportunities in prestigious companies in the country. MMCL 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 exceptionally high employment rates of graduates – all of which have helped MMCL secure its ranking as the 3rd HEI (higher educational institution) in Calabarzon.
