History
Our History
The story of Miriam College dates back to 1926 when the Archbishop of
Manila, then Reverend Michael O’ Doherty, requested the Sisters of the
Maryknoll Congregation in New York to initiate a teacher-training program
for women in the Philippines. In an old remodeled Augustinian Convent in
Malabon, Rizal, the Malabon Normal School was established. The school
transferred sites several times until finally in 1952, with its name officially
changed to Maryknoll College, it laid down its permanent roots in Diliman
(or Loyola Heights), Quezon City.
A long period of stability and growth followed. Maryknoll College
expanded its programs from training teachers to the formation of women
leaders, thus a liberal arts college was developed. The school grew in student
population, in programs, services and reputation, justifiably achieving
recognition as a school where academic excellence, communication skills,
competence, individuality and social responsibility were developed
in its students.
Its graduates have distinguished themselves in various professions.
Several have been cabinet secretaries, legislators, accomplished businesswomen,
entrepreneurs, educators and leaders of government and non-governmental
organizations. To date, nineteen alumnae have been selected as
“The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service” (TOWNS) awardees.
After Vatican II, the Maryknoll congregation began to evaluate its work,
not only in the Philippines but worldwide, in the light of their original
apostolate as a missionary order. In the 60’s, the Maryknoll congregation
saw the readiness of the Filipino laity to continue the educational mission
they had started. In 1977, the ownership and management of the school were
turned over to lay administrators. In accordance with the agreement, the
name Maryknoll was to be changed to pave the way for the promotion of the
school’s unique identity, distinct although not disconnected from the identity
of the Maryknoll sisters. In 1989, after a series of consultations, Maryknoll
College was re-named Miriam College.
To meet the challenges of the times, Miriam College has expanded its
course offerings and set up four major centers for curriculum development,
research and community outreach – the Environmental Studies Institute,
the Center for Peace Education, the Women and Gender Institute and the
Institutional Network for Social Action.
Miriam College is committed to the values of truth, justice, peace
and the integrity of creation.
Truth
We believe in the power of knowledge and the liberating force of truth.
We commit ourselves to the systematic and scientific search for truth and to
fairness and openness in its pursuit. We reject all forms of deceit, falseness
and dishonesty. We strive for the highest quality of intellectual and academic
output at the same time that we recognize and value the wisdom of the heart.
Miriam College
Institutional
Core Values
Justice
We believe that all human beings should be equally blessed to be responsible
for and to enjoy the fruits of knowledge-generation and social progress. We
commit ourselves to a society where power and opportunity are equally
shared and where the “naked are clothed and the hungry are fed.” We reject
discrimination of any kind against any individual or any group. We strive
for and support a diverse and interdependent human community in which
people’s rights, welfare and empowerment are centrally valued.
Peace
We believe that God has called us to be peace-builders. We also believe
that peace means the absence of violence as well as the presence of values,
attitudes, behavior and ways of life based on non-violence and respect for the
fundamental rights and freedom of every person. We reject violence of every
form and in every social interaction and all institutions. We are committed to
work for creative and constructive ways of solving conflict and to foster caring
and loving relationships among all human beings and between humans and
the rest of creation.
Integrity of Creation
We believe that God has called us to be stewards of all creation and that the
well-being and happiness of future generations rest upon sustainable and
equitable systems and processes of production and consumption. We reject
destruction of the environment and waste of natural resources. We commit
ourselves to care for the earth and to practice a lifestyle that sustains the
health of the planet on which all life depends.
College Name
“Miriam” is the Aramaic name with which Mary, our Blessed Mother and the
school’s patron, was called in her lifetime. “Miriam” is also a fitting reminder
and tribute to Sr. Miriam Thomas Thornton, M.M., who devoted 50 years of
service to Maryknoll College.
Fr. Bernardo Perez, OSB, once reflected that the name “affirms in word
what has long been established in fact: namely, that an excellent leading
Catholic School founded and administered by religious continues to be an
excellent leading Catholic School administered by lay persons.”

Physical Plant and Resources
Rationale
The Consortium of Women’s Colleges (CWC) is a collaboration and
cooperation of three women’s colleges in Metro Manila, namely: Assumption
College, Makati; Miriam College, Quezon City; and St. Scholastica’s
College, Manila; whose main thrust is to achieve more efficiently common
educational goals and objectives. Noted for their respective distinct charisma,
vision‑mission, and academic programs in the country, the CWC puts
premium on the principle of interconnectedness for the maximization of
resources, both human and material, as against duplication of efforts and
competitiveness in the field of education.
The Consortium of
Women’s Colleges
Vision-Mission
The CWC envisions a community of Catholic educational institutions
united by a commitment to excellence through the dynamic integration
of knowledge, culture and faith.
The CWC forms women leaders who are confident and steadfast in their
Christian values, joyful and compassionate in their leadership and dedicated
and competent in their service.
The CWC commits to the renewal of women’s education through
innovative collaboration, synergetic lay-religious partnership and courageous
advocacy for the empowerment of women and the transformation of society.
Consortium Program
Cross-Enrollment
In a consortium agreement, a student may enroll and take a subject in another
school if said subject is either not offered in her home school or in conflict
with her schedule for the semester. This unique arrangement provides both
the school and students an efficient way of addressing common problems
such as back subjects, which generally lead to the delay in the completion of
academic requirements for graduation.
Miriam College will work to ensure that Miriam College is an exemplar
of a Green Lifestyle, while maintaining an environment that is conducive
to teaching, learning and research.
Procedure for Cross-enrollment:
To meet the enrollment goals, it will continue to innovate and introduce
new recruitment strategies to attract more students at all levels. The strategic
management of our resources for sustained operations and growth continues
to be a priority.

Linggap Bulilit
Linggap Bulilit, which means “to care for little children,” is Miriam College’s
educational outreach for the poor children in barangay day care centers.
The goal of the program is to help prepare these children for the “big school,”
that is, to equip them with the skills, knowledge and values that are necessary
to survive the demands and challenges of elementary school and beyond.
To reach this goal, Linggap Bulilit trains community-based teachers and
volunteers, most of whom have no formal training in education, specifically
in early childhood education. This is why at the heart of Linggap Bulilit
is teacher‑training intended to help them perform the enormous task of
educating young hearts and minds.
As an innovation, Miriam College is introducing Linggap Bulilit on
Wheels. The central concept is to bring a mobile library to day care and
pre-school children. Linggap Bulilit on Wheels aims to cultivate the love for
reading among young children. Through this project, Miriam College experts
and volunteers will conduct storytelling sessions and other fun activities in
barangay day care centers and public pre-schools.

Outside the school, WAGI works with others in achieving women’s
empowerment and gender-fair relations within institutional environments
that respect democracy, human rights, accountable governance, and peoplecentered development.
Inside the campus, it strengthens the school’s social equality values
through the mainstreaming of gender issues and concerns in both academic
and non-academic programs and activities.

Center for Applied Music
In 1954, then Maryknoll President Miriam Thomas Thornton granted Ms.
Gregoria Cayco permission to teach piano at the school which was then still
located along Pennsylvania St. (now Leon Guinto) in Manila.
Through the years, it has expanded in scope and size from an initial
offering of piano lessons to that which includes a variety of other musical
instruments and voice instruction. Thus was born the Miriam College Center
for Applied Music.
Today, the Center for Applied Music continually strives to be innovative
in its programs by constantly updating and upgrading its facilities, services
and course offerings that reflect the changing musical needs and persuasions
of our esteemed students. We are the only academic institution in the
Philippines affiliated with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music,
a London–based leading authority on musical assessment which our selected
students take every year to certify their international standing.
An integrated approach is espoused in ILAW Center, which encompasses
the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellness of the individual.
In Filipino, ILAW means light - a source of energy that can transform or create
power and wellness, hence the center’s name.
The ILAW Center was made open to the public since July, 2007. Its services
include individual counseling, psychological assessment, group therapy,
therapeutic massage, manicure, pedicure, vidoeke, and seminar-workshops
on various topics, such as enjoying mid-life, anger management, caring for
aging loved ones, creative solo parenting and talks on fatherhood, among
others. The Center also houses a gym for cardiovascular conditioning and
a massage clinic, which are open five days a week. Weekly cardiovascular
activities such as Yoga, Zumba, Aerobics, and Ballroom Dancing, among
others are also offered.

appears in the Registrar’s copy, a student is enrolled in the subject,
whether or not she actually attends classes. Because of these serious
implications, any incorrect entry in the registration form should be
brought to the attention of the Registration Facilitators immediately
before it is printed.

Changes in the Registration
After the enrolment period, official changes may be made on the student’s
current registration assessment form (RAF) within certain deadlines by
securing a form from the Registrar’s Office for any of the following:
• Request to add/drop a course
• Request to change section of the same course
• Request to change from audit to credit, or vice-versa
Students who have paid the current registration fees are the only ones
allowed to make changes in their registration assessment form. Approval
of these requests is done by the respective Department Chair, College Dean,
and the Registrar. A minimal service fee is charged for such changes.
A revision in the current enrolled courses within the first week of the
semester does not affect the student’s academic record. After this period,
another form is accomplished if a student officially drops a subject. A grade
of “W” (Withdrawn) is indicated in her copy of grades for the semester
(including the Transcript of Records), provided the withdrawal is done
within the deadline stipulated. Students who fail to withdraw a course
are considered officially enrolled and are therefore covered by all provisions
applicable to enrolled students. Thus, a student who unofficially drops or stops
attending her classes will receive an “FA” (Failure due to Absences) mark.

weeks each. A semester hour or unit of credit is given to satisfactory work in
one class hour a week for one semester. A student must carry a minimum of
twelve (12) semester hours of work to be considered a full-time student.
The maximum load for first-year students is 25 units; for upper-class students,
this varies from 15 to 27 units as prescribed by their respective program
curricula. No student may carry a load exceeding what is prescribed in the

a checklist of all general and major course requirements for a particular
degree program. This is designed to help the student keep track of her
academic progress and thereby help her assume responsibility for the
completion of all unit requirements for graduation. Every student is expected
to keep the record throughout her entire college stay and to update the
records every semester in consultation with the Department Chair and the
Registrar. This is done by indicating new courses enrolled each registration
time, and by recording grades and units earned at the end of each term.
Seniors report for final evaluation to the Department Chair during the

minutes after the second bell, a two-hour class within the first 20 minutes,
a three-hour class within the first 30 minutes, a five-hour class within the
first 45 minutes, etc. After these time allowances, tardiness is considered
an absence.
Three incidents of tardiness are considered as one absence.
Grading system
Grading at Miriam College is a unique numerical system based on the
principle of quality of work done rather than on average percentage points
acquired. The analysis of quality of performance takes into consideration
the following:
1. Mastery of subject matter as evidenced by exams, recitations, etc.
Overcuts
2. Promptness and good quality of assignments
In cases where the student has incurred an overcut, Section 101 of the 2008
Manual of Regulations for Private Higher Education, shall be followed, to wit:
3. Positive attitude towards learning
Section 101. Student Absences. A student who incurs absences of more than
twenty percent (20%) of the prescribed number of class or laboratory periods
during the school year or term shall fail and earn no credit for the course
or subject except in the instances as follows:
5. Clear and effective written or oral expression
1. When the institution adopts a different attendance policy for students
who belong to the upper half of their classes; and
2. When the institution exempts a student for a just and reasonable ground,
provided however that, the student is not excused from keeping up with
lessons, assignments and examinations. A faculty member may exempt
a student who incurs absences beyond the twenty percent (20%) limit,
but with the approval of proper school authority.
Grading
and Reporting
4. Participation in class work
6. Ability to reason and analyze
7. Other criteria that the teacher may choose to emphasize for his/her
specific subject at the start of the semester
The final grade ordinarily consists of one-third (1/3) of examination work
and two thirds (2/3) of class standing.
In the case of first year students, the First Year Coordinator will take charge
of issuing waivers for overcuts when these are justifiable, such as for reasons
of death in the family, extended illness, and the like. The College Dean will
assess and give exemptions to upper-class students.
The above policies on attendance shall be of universal application.
No individual faculty member can lay down an attendance policy different
from the above.

Legend
Only grades in courses taken at Miriam College shall be included in the
computation of the cumulative QPA. Except for E-100, M-100, MC 101, MC 102,
and NSTP 2.1, all grades obtained in academic courses are included in the
computation of the semestral and cumulative QPA for as long as such grades
have been obtained at Miriam College, regardless of the course under which
they were obtained and whether they were credited to the current degree
program or not.
The semestral Quality Point Average (QPA) refers to the weighted average
of grades in all academic courses taken in a given semester, whereas the
cumulative QPA refers to the weighted average of grades in all academic
courses from the first semester in which the student was enrolled up to the
last semester.
A grade, except for “F” or “FA”, is at the same time the quality point of
each unit of subject required for graduation. The Quality Point Average (QPA)
whether for the semester or Cumulative Quality Point Average (CQPA) from
first year is computed as follows:
QPA or CQPA =
P – Passed
åU
F – Failed
Where åQP = sum of QP (quality Points) = (Grade per subject X Units per subject)
U = units per subject
NE – Never Entered
Summer grades are included in the computation of the CQPA for the
current school year and not for the succeeding school year.
W – Withdraw from the Course
FA – Failure due to Absences
INC* – Incomplete
*INC grades must be completed on the deadline specified by the
Registrar’s Office or the grade automatically becomes an “F.”
The grading system also introduces descriptive grades for courses
that do not carry quality points.
Descriptive Grades
Ex – Excellent
VG – Very Good
A student who enrolled in summer classes will be re-evaluated for
retention after the summer grades have been inputted into her CQPA.
Reporting of Student’s Performance
After the midterms, the Registrar’s office sends D-warning letters to the
parents of students who obtained low academic performance in the subject/s
(with grades of 2.0 and below) as assessed by their teacher/s.
At the end of each semester, the Registrar’s office sends the students’
Semestral Report, which includes the student’s grades in each of the currently
enrolled subjects, her QPA, and CQPA for the semester. This report may be
withheld if the student has outstanding accountabilities to the College or has
pending cases.
Students who are cleared of entry, property and financial accountabilities
are allowed electronic access of their semestral grades on the schedule set by
the Registrar’s office.
G – Good
Transcript of Records
S – Satisfactory
A transcript of records is sent, on the student’s request, to any college or
business office. Official transcripts imply a transfer of the permanent record to
another college.
FS – Fairly Satisfactory
W – Withdrawn
FA – Failure due to Absences
Any request for change in grades by students/teachers/parents will be
considered by the Standards Deciding Body if submitted within one year
from the end of the semester/term of the grade in question.

MC-101 consists of a series of orientations on the history, vision‑mission,
values and policies of Miriam College to introduce a Miriam identity to the
students. It also consists of modules that will help students’ adjustment to
college life by enhancing confidence, discipline and social skills.
MC-102 consists of modules prepared and collaborated on by Miriam
College’s advocacy centers that aim to make the students realize that school
life is not only for personal gains but for the development of society. First Year
students are equipped with knowledge and skills to become future women
leaders in service.
The First Year Development Program is headed by the First Year
Coordinator (FC) who is assisted by MC Advisers in the implementation
of MC-101 and MC-102. The FC closely coordinates with the chairpersons,
Guidance office, Student Affairs office and parents for the First Year students’

competencies that the program intends to cultivate in and
among the students:

Bachelor of Science
in Social Work
The Bachelor of Science in Social Work (BSSW) program under the College
of International, Humanitarian and Development Studies (CIHDS) adheres
to producing professionals who are competent, passionate and socially
committed in their chosen field and in diverse work settings. The BSSW
program commits to form students who are globally creative thinkers yet
taking pride in their national heritage, who can bring strong leadership skills
to the job yet attuned to harnessing individual human potentials.
It also prepares students to pass the Licensure Examination for Social Workers
administered by the Professional Regulation Commission.
Capitalizing on Miriam College’s strong base of international programs
and active advocacy on peace, gender, environment and social justice, the
social work program combines in the social work curriculum the concept
of internationalism and multi-disciplinary approaches. This perspective
includes looking at how global issues impact on local communities, people
and individuals. With the knowledge, skills and attitudes students acquire,
they understand better policy implications, work effectively in service
delivery and resource management.
Two growing areas where there is increasing demand for well-trained
social workers are in Humanitarian Studies where they can enter the field
of humanitarian assistance, crisis and disaster risk management, and
Corporate Social Work, where the social worker is able to straddle the
corporate and social development sectors by working in and managing
corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.
Aside from the regular program, BS Social Work is also open
to working professionals, college undergraduates and individuals seeking
to pursue a degree in social work. It features flexible schedules as well as
blended learning methodologies intended to cater to the unique needs
of adult learners.
Two specialized areas comprise the degree:
4. Knowledge of human behavior and the social
environment, with particular emphasis on the
person‑in‑environment transaction, life span development
and the interaction among biological, psychological,
socio-structural, gender, cultural and spiritual factors
