The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean has inked a global partnership with the University of Arizona (UArizona), headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.
This exclusive regional agreement makes it possible for students across the Caribbean – approximately 20 countries including Jamaica - to pursue proposed dual or UArizona stand-alone bachelor’s and master’s degrees from either the UArizona or both.
Students can pursue the programmes without leaving their countries.
UCC’s Founder and Group Executive Chairman, Dr Winston Adams, noted that “the university was once again breaking new frontiers and boundaries, as an entrepreneurial pacesetter in developing and implementing such an imaginative transnational higher education partnership, including projected arrangements for team-teaching and collaborative research”.

The St. Thomas Coastal Zone Management Committee voted Tuesday to approve a major permit for Universal Concrete LLC to construct a concrete plant and two-story office building on Regis Point.
Located between Krum Bay and Crown Bay at Plot No. 149B Sub Base, the plant would be for processing only, and storage of the concrete and trucks would take place off-site, developers said during the videoconferenced decision hearing.
Committee members Winston Adams, Jawanza Hilaire, Peggy Simmonds and Karl Percell voted unanimously to grant the permit â but emphasized that Universal Concrete would still need to obtain other permits necessary to start construction.
