Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC) was established in 1969 by Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA).

The College is 50% subsidized by the Government for all its recurrent and capital expenditure. The other 50% is borne by the Trustees.

MCA aims to establish an institution of higher learning for young Malaysians who have been deprived of the opportunity to seek education, as well as to meet the rising demand from the private sector for trained professional and technical personnel .

The College started with the commencement of classes in the School of Pre-University Studies in 1969 and followed by the School of Business Studies in 1971. The earlier classes were conducted in the Technical Institute, Cheras and Day Training College, Jalan Kuantan. Due to its rapid expansion, new centers were set up in six secondary schools and Catholic High School, Petaling Jaya. On 19 July 1976, with the completion of the first phase of the College Campus in Kuala Lumpur, classes were moved to its own campus premises in Jalan Genting Kelang, Setapak.

From an initial intake of 764 students in 1969, the College today has a Main Campus and five Branch Campuses in Penang, Perak, Johor, Pahang and Sabah.

The College is one of the country’s major tertiary educational institutions with numerous modern teaching and support facilities. It has a strong tradition of professional and has established an international reputation for the high quality and wide range of courses offered.
