Divine Word College of Calapan (DWCC) is a private, Catholic school in
Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. It was founded in 1946 by the missionaries of the
Society of the Divine Word (SVD) as the
Mindoro Junior College, initially offering courses in Normal Education, Liberal Arts, Pre-Law, Typing, and Stenography. By 1965, the school was already offering classes for elementary students. To be more fitting of the Catholic background of the school, its name was changed to Divine Word College of Calapan in 1981. At present, DWCC has
three campuses in the province. Two are in
Calapan City while the other one is located in
Pinamalayan.
The school offers primary and secondary level education as well as tertiary level programs. The Senior High School department has available strands under the
Academic and the
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) tracks. The college department, on the other hand, has undergraduate and graduate programs in the fields of
Architecture, Engineering, Teacher Education, Information Technology, Accountancy, Business Administration, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Criminology, and
Liberal Arts. Additionally, DWCC is a
TESDA accredited training and assessment center for Computer Systems Servicing, Food and Beverage Services, and Housekeeping.
