: The International Buddhist College (IBC), founded with the motto “for the good of the many,” represents a distinctive model of Buddhist higher education that integrates academic scholarship, spiritual formation and community engagement. This paper studies IBC’s historical development, institutional mission, and curricular framework, highlighting its multilingual and cross-traditional curriculum at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. The programmes offered encompass various Buddhist traditions, such as Early Buddhism, Indian Buddhism, Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Chinese, and Tibetan Buddhism, complemented by interdisciplinary studies in canonical languages and cultural studies. The introduction of early childhood education and Buddhist psychotherapy curriculum reflects IBC’s holistic educational philosophy. Demographics of Malaysian students show the institution’s regional significance and international outreach. To balance both academic quality and spiritual cultivation, IBC also faces challenges such as financial sustainability, fluctuating enrolment and competition in the global education market. This research contributes to ongoing discussions in higher education, religious studies, and cross-cultural pedagogy by providing insights into how a Buddhist institution adapts to modern educational demands while preserving its doctrinal studies and community engagement.
