Mapúa Institute of Technology (MIT) is a non-sectarian, research-oriented, Filipino tertiary institute located in Intramuros, Manila and in Makati.
It was founded by the first registered Filipino architect, Tomas Mapua, a graduate of Cornell University, in 1925. After he died, the tradition was continued by his children, Óscar M. Mapúa Sr., a graduate in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Gloria M. Mapúa-Lim.
Mapua Institute of Technology is a source of architects, engineers, and science graduates in the architectural and engineering fields as Mapúa Institute of Technology specializes in these fields in the undergraduate and graduate levels, aside from its widening range of undergraduate programs such as psychology, computer science, digital cinema, multimedia arts and sciences, technical communication, information technology, accounting, entrepreneurship, business management, hotel and restaurant management, and nursing.
The institute has been granted with the Level IV Accredited status to its Civil Engineering program by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA), which is one of the first engineering programs to be accorded such status. In addition, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) recently recognized Mapúa’s Mechanical Engineering (ME), Computer Engineering (CpE), Civil Engineering (CE), Environmental and Sanitary Engineering (EnSE), Chemical Engineering (CHE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Information Technology (IT) and Electronics Engineering (ECE) programs as Centers of Excellence for Engineering (COE). While Industrial Engineering (IE) and Computer Science (CS) as a Center of Development.
