Barbados Community College
The Barbados Community College is a tertiary institution located on Eyrie Howells' Road, Saint Michael, Barbados.
Founded in 1968, the Barbados Community College came to be as a result of an Act of Parliament aimed at making post secondary education more accessible to the Barbadian public. In 1990, the Act was amended by Parliament to allow for the following designations to be conferred upon students: Bachelor's degrees, Associate degrees, Diplomas and Certificates. Prior to this Act, degrees were available only at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus.
The overall management of BCC is invested in a Board of Management, appointed by the Minister of Education. It is to this Board that the Principal reports.
Presently, the principal of the Barbados Community College is Dr. Ian Austin, who was appointed in February 2016 in response to the passing of the formal principal, Norma Holder. Dr. Ian Austin is a Barbadian who holds both a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies and an MBA in Finance from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He also holds a Diploma of Education in Post Graduate Teaching and a Bachelors of Science in accounting from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus. In addition to his position at the Barbados Community College, he acts as the deputy director of Continuing and Professional Education at the University of West Indies Open Campus. The Barbados Community College is run with the assistance of Deputy Principal Dr. Cheryl Weekes and Registrar Mr. Roger Worrell.
The Barbados Community College offers programs at the degree and diploma levels in a variety of divisions and departments.
In 2015–16, it was reported that BCC enrolled 1108 males and 2031 females, for a total of 3139 students.
The BCC is registered with the Barbados Accreditation Council but is not yet accredited by it.
The BCC has developed articulation agreements with a variety of institutions, including Howard University, Florida International University, The Michener Institute, and Mount Allison University, along with the local University of the West Indies.
