Mater Dei College also referred to by its acronym MDC is a private, Roman Catholic, co-educational basic and higher education institution located in Tubigon, Bohol, Philippines.

Bohol's prominent residents together with the local government unit had joined hands to build a community college for local residents who are economically challenged to send their children to big cities to obtain college education.

During that time, Tagbilaran City was the only nearest place that offers college education and only few are capable of sending their children to Cebu and Manila for higher education.

It is through the efforts of then Sangguniang Bayan secretary, Cesar Mascarinas, parish priest Rev.

Tom Balatayo and an educator Lourdes H. Torrefranca, Ph.D., that drafted the idea of funding a college into a reality.
