It was founded by Ladislao S. David, a prominent entrepreneur of Guagua in 2003.

It focused in establishing an educational institution providing “Academic Excellence and Integral Formation” for underprivileged, deserving students into higher level of education.

In its initial year of operation, the college offered programs in business, education, and computer studies.

In 2009, the institution tied with government agencies such as the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and, thus, MQC-Career Institute was founded, as the technical vocational arm of MQC offering short vocational courses.

In 2012, MQC started offering night classes intended for working individuals who want to continue and finish college education.
