In its pursuit of developing education, Mapua Malayan Digital College (MMDC) has leveled up its IT degree program to provide progressive training in line with the demands of today’s professional landscape.
MMDC is a digital-first college in the Philippines with core focus on the application of Information Technology in business under Mapua Malayan Colleges Laguna.
Launched in an event held in Cafe Bob’s, Bacolod Thursday, MMDC’s new IT programs places learning at-pace with the industry by exposing students to emerging IT-related fields. This helps learners become more knowledgeable and efficient across disciplines – closing skills gaps and strengthening linkage with the local government in support of workforce development.
MMDC’s leveled-up IT program offers a Business-focused track hinged on the strategic application and implementation of technology in business and across sectors. It comprises three areas of specialization: Data Analytics, Marketing Technology, and Entrepreneurship Technology. Learners will get the opportunity to harness data for data organization, marketing execution with various tech stacks, and employ Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools for entrepreneurial success.
Beyond business, MMDC also offers a Development-focused IT degree program where learners can specialize in either Software Development and Network and Cybersecurity. Both tracks are grounded on a unique Projects, Problems, and Cases (PPC) learning model that emphasizes hands-on experiences, problem-solving, and analysis of local and global cases – mirroring the dynamics of modern workplaces.
“As the worlds of Information Technology and business grow more intertwined, professionals must know how to expertly utilize tools to generate ideal business outcomes,” said Engr. Dennis Tablate, executive director at Mapua Malayan Digital College. “Our leveled-up, Business-focused IT program aims to close the skills gap by ensuring learners apply tools and systems to best help launch and build careers in an increasingly complex world landscape.”
With improving access to quality education a key driver of MMDC, with the support of the Provincial Government of Negros Occidental, MMDC offers the Abanse Negrense IT Scholarship to give Negrense learners a full-ride MMDC education. This initiative paves the way for accessible, flexible education in support of the Provincial Government’s vision for personal development among Negrenses.*
