Years later, MINT has established itself as a respected brand in the areas of business, arts and technology education. In fact, our reputation is that of an innovative, creative and non-traditional school. With the school’s steady push of empowering students to actually practice their learnings in real, professional settings, students from arts, business, and technology programs get to participate at professional and semi-professional competitions and win. Our senior students get absorbed in the various top companies they applied to for their on-the-job trainings, and get scouted by top agencies while still in school. These validate the MINT education model of developing students to conceptualize, plan and execute like creative professionals.
Founded in 2010, Meridian International College (MINT College), has proven that it is possible to offer a modern approach to education in a country that generally practices old-fashioned and traditional educational norms. While the Philippines lags behind its more progressive Asian neighbors in the quality of education, the founders at MINT sought to start a movement by applying international standards to college education coupled with unique attributes that further enhance all programs being offered. Key international faculty with impressive professional credentials are the primary drivers tasked to deliver the MINT brand of education in the budding metropolis of McKinley Hill, Taguig City and in the midst of the bustling corporate area of Ortigas East, Pasig City.
