Formerly known as Marian College, Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) was founded by Dr. Paulo C. Campos in 1973. EAC offers a unique combination of a rigorous academic program, a medium-sized school, a diverse student body and all the resources the Pearl Manila Hotel, Medical Center Manila and the Emilio Aguinaldo Medical Center. The hotel and hospital environments provide students with an opportunity for authentic learning experiences which is rarely matched by other learning institutions. Its interdisciplinary, hands-on approach to health care, hospitality management and other disciplines provides academic and professional challenges that develop a wide range of skills in its students. Its close-knit community truly makes it what one college guide calls “an urban oasis".
