THE BARBADOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE (BCC) is graduating to full bachelor degrees.
This was revealed by Minister of Education Ronald Jones, who disclosed to the DAILY NATION in an interview that the tertiary education facility at the Ivy, St Michael, would be expanding its core of degree programmes.
Jones said he had always maintained that the BCC must move from associate degrees to “full degrees” as it was already in the charter.
“Last year, they introduced four new programmes including bachelor in pharmacy. This year, 2016 to 2017, another five or six or possibly seven new programmes in the bachelors [programme] will be added. You will have media and journalism studies, including new media, all the blogs and e-books; physical education, and a bachelor in medical laboratory technology.” (HLE)
