HISTORY

Alpha:

Mexico City College, a truly unique institution of post-secondary education, was founded in 1940. Located in and later on the outskirts of Mexico City, it was accredited in the United States. Students from all parts of the U.S. and around the globe attended it, along with a growing local student body. It would be re-named as the University of the Americas, then the Universidad de las Americas, followed by its move to Puebla, and later divided into two distinct, separate institutions, one still in Puebla (Universidad de las Americas-Puebla, UDLAP) and one back in Mexico City (UDLA, A.C.).

Omega:

For many of its alumni, MCC was a turning point in their lives, a set of key experiences and fraternal connections that continue to be significant to this day. The college is gone, an economics investigational institution in its place on the now frantic Mexico-Toluca Highway, and Cuajimalpa, the rustic village that was a haven for the “beatnik and bohemian fringe,” is now its own metropolis, as crowded as Mexico City. The spirit of MCC, though, lives on in the creative, irreverent and iconoclastic views of its alumni…some of which can be read and seen (in fotos) in this and other related sites (check enlaces) on the web.
