History

"Makati,Mahalin natin atin ito"

The University of Makati is an LGU-fully funded public university originally established in 1972 as the Makati Polytechnic Community College. In response to the growing demands for more curricular program offerings, the Polytechnic Community College was elevated to the status of a full-blown college and renamed Makati College in 1987 A merger with the former Fort Andres Bonifacio College on January 10, 1990 paved the way for the transformation of the college into a university. By virtue of Municipal Ordinance No. 433, Pamantasan ng Makati became a chartered university of Makati City on December 19, 1991 under the administration of Mayor Jejomar C. Binay. On August 27, 2002, City Ordinance 2002-111 has been approved amending City Ordinance No. 99-443 revising the Pamantasan ng Makati Charter so as to change the offcial name of Pamantasan ng Makati to University of Makati subject to all laws and existing legal regulations.
