The University College Concept
IMS/IMP created history in Jamaica when it outlined its plans for the first University College of the Caribbean. Simultaneously it unveiled its logo for what has now become reality, the University College of the Caribbean.
A university college can be defined as an institution that amalgamates many of the functions of a university and a college. Effectively a hybrid of some of the functions of a university and a traditional college. It is a comprehensive institution that offers a wide range of programme offerings from certificates through Associate and Bachelor degrees and Masters degrees with its main focus being at the baccalaureate degree or certificate level in the applied areas.

“Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”

“The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
