University Of The Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC)

The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) is Jamaica’s largest privately held higher educational institution providing students with world class educational programmes offered by highly qualified and trained local and international faculty. The University has its main campus in Kingston, Jamaica. It was formed in 2004, following a merger in 2002 of the Institute of Management Sciences (IMS), incorporated in 1992 and the Institute of Management & Production (IMP), incorporated in 1976. The new, expanded institution remains one of the fastest growing institutions in the country as well as in the Caribbean region. The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean is institutionally accredited by the University Council of Jamaica (UCJ), the official accreditation body for tertiary education in Jamaica. This accreditation positions UCC as one of only four universities, among the eighty public and private tertiary institutions that have been registered by the UCJ, to have achieved this significant and decisive accreditation status. The University was also awarded international institutional accreditation in 2016 and has earned Premier status from the UK-based Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC).
