The University College of the Caribbean (UCC), Jamaica’s largest privately-held tertiary education consortium, is Breaking New Frontiers in Higher Education. To prepare students for an increasingly complex and diverse society, the UCC has developed a number of programmes to provide the knowledge and skills to help our students succeed within a world community. Our range of programmes covers local Associate and Bachelor degrees and overseas Bachelor and Masters degree programmes, offered in partnership with internationally recognized institutions such as the Florida International University, Florida Memorial University, University of London and the Commonwealth of Learning.
 

THE ARTICULATION FLOW CHART

The UCC's Articulation Flow chart was designed to function as a guide for  students to help them make choices, from among our courses of study, that fit their specific needs. In this way, students can make decisions to advance their education in a way that will contribute to the achievement of their career and educational goals.

For example if you are a high school graduate, you may choose to start with an Associate degree (i.e. the lower division of the Bachelor’s) programme which will take you into the upper division of a selected Bachelor’s degree.
