Mountain View College (Bukidnon)

Location :

Mountain View College is a private, co-educational, Seventh-day Adventist college in Valencia, Bukidnon, Philippines which was established in 1953. It has a semestral enrollment of more than 2000 students primarily from Mindanao, although there are also quite a number from Luzon and the Visayas. International enrollment from Cambodia, Canada, China, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Micronesia, Mongolia, Myanmar, South Korea, the United States, and other countries in Africa and Asia, comprises about five percent of the total student population. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.HistoryMVC was founded by Andrew Nathaniel Nelson in response to the growing interest in Christian education within the Philippines. A 584% increase for a six-year period in the college enrollment of Philippine Union College, where he was then president, necessitated the search for another site. Based on a nine-point criteria founded on Adventist principles and prior experience in the founding of two other educational institutions (Seattle Junior Academy in 1915 and Japan Missionary College in 1925), Dr. Nelson came upon MVC's present site.
