ABOUT THE COLLEGE OF THE BAHAMAS
ablished by an Act
fParliament in 197 4,
The College of1he
Bahamas was created through the
amalgamation offour institutions:
The Bahamas Teachers' College, San
Salvador Teachers' College, C. R. Walker
Technical College and the sixth form
programme ofThe Govemment High
School. The institution opened its
doors for the first time in September
1975, with an enrolment of some two
thousand (2,000) students, in a range of
programmes leading to associate degrees,
diplomas and certificates and General
Certificate in Education (GCE) /\'Level
studies.
The creation ofThe College closely
reflected the country's goals of nation
building, coinciding with the creation of
other important national institutions like
The Central Bank ofThe Bahamas and
The National lnsurance Board (Nlli).
The institution would be established out
of the recognised national need for better
educated and more highly skilled citizens
to support and drive an ever expanding
and evolving economy.
lnjune 1995, landmark legislation
granting The College full autonomy of
its affairs and an expanded mandate was
passed, establishing a new era for The
College, effectively signalling the start of
The College's university transition. By
that year, The College had accumulated
an offering of three Associate degrees:
Arts, Science and Applied Science; and
one baccalaureate degree, the Bachelor
in Business Administration (BBA).
A Bachelor of Education degree was
offered jointly with the University of the
West lndies (UWT).
THE CoLLEGE OF
THE BAHAMAS TODAY
Since 1995, 111e College's academic
offering has expanded through the
introduction ofbaccalaureate degree
progrmes. In addition to the BBA
(introduced in 1991) The College
added its own Bachelor in Education
degree (BEd), Bachelor of Science (BSc),
Bachelor ofNursing (BSN), Bachelor
of Science in Electronics Technology
(BSET) and Bachelor of Arts (BA)
degrees. The College also facilitates the
UWl Bachelor ofLaw degree (LLB)
and the Jamaica based University of
Technology's (U ofT em) Bachelor in
Pharmacy degree (BPharm). Combined,
these eight baccalaureate degrees are
offered across a range of approximately
sixty majors, which are administered
through seven schools and one institute:
Schools ofBusiness, Communication &
Creative Arts, the Culinary & Hospitality
Management institute, and Schools of
Education, English Studies, Nursing
and Allied Health Professions, Social
Sciences and Sciences & Technology.
In partnership with universities
and colleges abroad, to date The
College has facilitated seven graduate
degree programmes: MA (Western
Connecticut State University) Health
Administration; MEd (Kent State
University) School Counselling;
MA (Ashford University) Teaching
& Learning with Technology; MUS
(University of South Florida) Library &
Information Sciences; MEd (Kent State
University) Special Education; MEd
(Kent State University) Educational
Administration; and MSc (Wheelock
ColJege) Early ChiJdhood & Elementary
Teaching.
With the increase in academic
programmes has come a transformation
of student enrolment, which has hovered
around the 5,000 mark over the past
two academic years. The ColJege
now welcomes and graduates more
baccalaureate students than it does
any other group. The College's mix of
graduates has changed from 30 percent
associate degree recipients versus 70
percent certificate, diploma and other
awardees in 1978; 71 percent associate
degree, 4 percent baccalaureate degree and
25 percent certificate and other recipients
twenty years later in 1998; to a graduate
mix of mainly baccalaureate degree holders
just ten years later in 2008 (baccalaureate
degrees - 48 percent, associate degrees
- 41 percent and 11 percent of graduates
receiving other designations).
The College boasts an alumni base of more
than 11,000.
The profile ofThe College's faculty has also
changed significantly over the years, as the
number of faculty with doctorate degrees
rose fi·om 16 percent in 1990 to 23 percent
in 2007. In 2008, eight often new faculty
hired possessed doctoral degrees, bringing
the percentage offaculty with tem1inal
degrees to 28.
The mission ofThe College ofThe
Bal1amas is to support and drive national
development through education,
research & innovation, and service to the
community.
RESEARCH
While TI1e College has been prinmily
a teaching institution, some £.1ct~ty have
been involved in research and have
published in peer- reviewed journals. TI1e
College itself has, since 1980, supported
a research journal, which is now also
published as an online journal.
The College's research work has comprised
collaborations with international and
regional agencies, among them: the
United Nations Development Fund for
Women (UNIFEM); the Pan American
Health Organisation (PAH O); the
United Nations Educational, Scienti!1c,
and Ct~tural Organisation (UNESCO);
the Jnternational Labour Organisation
(JLO); the International Organisation
for Migration (IOM); the United States
Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA); the Economic Commission
for Latin America & the Caribbean
(ECLAC); and the Caribbean Agricultural
Research and Development institute
(CARD!). Nationally, TI1e College's
research partners have included
government ministries and public agencies
as well as non-governmental organisations.
CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
Since 1995, College capital works have
comprised investments of just w1der $24
million, including in the past year the
Wellness Centre [$925,000] and new
dormitory faciljty [$677,048] and more
recently the new pharmacy laboratories
[ $ 1.6 1niJLon] and the newly refurbished
Performjng Arts Centre [ $3.3 1niJLon].

Dear Graduates,
/(Jongratulations to each of you
L/ on thi dayofyomgraduation.
You leave The College today with yom
degree, diploma or certificate in hand.!
am sure that for each of you there were
moments when you were afraid this
day would never come, that you did not
have what it takes to reach the goal you
had set for yomseLf But in the end you
persevered and, today, we acknowledge
your success.
The diploma you receive today is not
simply a symbol of cl1e facts you have
learned, the processes you have mastered
or the intellectual growth you have
experienced in the years you have spent
at 1he College. It is, as well, a testament
to your perseverance and seLf-di ·cipline.
1he degree to which you have developed
FROM THE PRESIDENT Ms. ] ANYNE M. H oDDER
these two qualities will be in1portant
determinants of your future success.
Education is, after all, a confrontation
with our personal ignorance. We either
run in fear from what we do not know or
understand, or we struggle to overcome
our ignorance and to master those
difficultie which, at first ight, seemed
insurmountable. It is in the struggle that
we grow and learn. it is in the struggle
that we develop perseverance and it is in
cl1e struggle that we learn cl1e discipline
required to succeed.
lhe diploma that you receive today is
but a first step in the life long struggle
to gain mastery over ourselves and over
the fears that hold us back. But it is an
important step. For it is the one which
gives us the confidence to know that we
have succeeded in the past when our
confidence wa shaken and cl1at we will
succeed again when we are faced with
challenges which seem overwhelming.
My message to everyone over cl1e last
years has been straightforward. The
mission ofThe College is to build a
nation cl1rough education, research &
innovation and service.J11e Balla mas is a
young country. You have now developed
skills and acquired values which, if well
used, can make it a better countr)~ a
stronger country !leave you, then, dlis
final challenge. Move on and do it.
Congratulations I
t this ttme of year
,lt 1he College of
The Bahamas, the
atmosphere is saturated with excitement,
happiness ,md anticipation and there ts
a pervastve sense of accomplishment
among the Cl.!ss of2009. Our entire
College community joins with the
graduates in the celebr.:ttion of their
academic achievement.
A5 our newest graduate look to
entering the working world, they are,
no doubt, apprehensive because of
these particularly challenging economic
times. Many are anxious about their
FROM THE COUNCIL CHAIRMAN MR. T. BASWELL DONALDSON
professional future. We, their extended
£.unily, however, .:tre confident that they
will fare well because we believe that we
have fulfilled our obligation to them,
for we have prepared them for life. We
are confident that our graduates will
confi·ont the new challenges, equipped
with values ever promoted by 1he
College- excellence, knowledge, truth
and integrity.
Now, as our nation and the rest of the
world prepare to embrace the members
of our Class of2009, I encourage
these newest alumni to pursue their
personal and professional goals with
vigour, building nations in the process.
l also encourage them to serve as great
ambassadors of their alma mater, forever
connected to this great institution.
I trust that our graduates' pride in
1he College mirrors our pride in our
graduates, and on behalf of our College
community, I heartily congratulate the
Class of2009 ofThe College of1l1e
Bahamas.
uccessful people have
urvivor personalities
becau e they seem to
have an inner reserve that energizes them
to per evere, like an extra overdrive gear
on a car. Their passion and motivation
toward their goals are strong enough to
keep them propelled and this helps them
to overcome adversities. They persist
until their goal is achieved: William A.
Rice, MD.
Graduates, these words ofDr. Rice
aptly describe your journey through
The College ofThe Bahamas over the
past four to six years or so. You have
successfulJy completed your various
programmes because you are survivors;
you have that "inner reserve" and you
were goal oriented. Your theme for
FROM THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC AFFAIRS DR. RHONDA CHIPMAN-JOHNSON
this year's graduation emphasizes these
qualities. You had the determination,
the readiness and the state of mind
that would ensure success. Your class
is unique in a number of ways: as we
approach the end of the first decade
of the 21st century; you will have the
distinction of being one of the last
classes to graduate from The College;
you were also tl1e first class to u e
on-line registration as the major means
of registering for your classes; and you
have wcceeded despite tile past year's
recession.
As you move on to the next stage of
your Dves, l encourage you to usc the
knowledge and skills you have acquired
at The College and to utilize tile same
traits which helped you to succeed at
work and in your daily lives. You will
need these to contribute to national
development l also urge you to
continue to leam, strengthen your skills;
be creative and put in practice the ethics
and integrity espoused in the motto
of1he College. This combination of
knowledge, skills, creativity, and et!Ucal
behaviour will give you tile competitive
edge you will need for success in
our country and in this increasingly
globalized world. We also look forward
to your contribution to the development
of the Univer ·ity ofThe Bahamas. Best
wishes for further success in tl1e future.
Congratulations to you all. We are proud
of you!

ACADEMIC SYMBOLISM
T HE CoLLEGE MAcE
'l11eAcademic Ceremonial Mace represents the authority of the Chief Executive Officer of'I11e College. The Mace ofThe CoUege of'l11e Bahamas measures just over three feet in length and is m:1de from an indigenous Bahamian wood. It is topped by a sphere A an ked by three blue marlins, a noted game fish ofBaharnian waters. The College Crest is carved on the sphere and is framed by the marlins. The Mace was designed by Joann Behagg, Assistant Professor in Art in the School of Communication and Creative Arts. The carving and production were carried out by the Hopedale Centre, New Providence.
ACADEMIC DRESS
The wearing of caps, gowns, and hoods at College and University functions dates back to the earliest days of the oldest universities. Modern academic regalia evolved from the kinds of apparel worn by monks and students in the eleventh and twelfth centuries to keep warm in medieval castles and halls in which they studied.
THE GOWN
The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it completely covers any dress or rank
or social standing. The sleeves of the gown indicate the level of the degree held by the wearer. A long pomted sleeve indicates the b,1chelor degree. The master's gown has an oblong sleeve cut in an arc with a slit at either the upper arm or wrist.'l11e Doctoral gown has bellshaped sleeves and may also have velvet facing and three sleeve bars or chevrons. The sleeves of a college/ university president's gown bear four chevrons. The trimming may be black or it may match the degree colour on the gown\ edging.
THE CAP
The academic cap is a sign of the freedom of scholarship and responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as square, symbolizing the book, although other authorities claim that it is a mortarboard, the S)'mbol of the mason, a privileged guild. Council members wear a six sided cap, while the President's is eight-sided.11le colour of the tassels on the cap denotes the discipline. The tassels on the mortarboards worn by the faculty may be black or a colour indic,lting the degree.Those who hold a doctoral degree may wear a gold tassel.
Tassel colours worn by graduates can include:
Accounting- Drab
Agricultw-e - Maize Architecture- Blue Violet Arts -White Business Studies - Drab Economics- Copper Education- Light Blue Engineering - Orange Finance - Drab General Studies -White Geography- White History - White Journalism - Crimson Language & Literature- White Law I Crin1ina1Justice - Purple Library Science- Lemon Marketing- Drab Mathematics - Gold Nw·sing- Apricot Psychology - Gold Public Administr.:ttion- Peacock Sciences - Gold Secretarial Studies - Drab Social Studies - Citron Sociology- Citron Technology - Gold
T HE HOOD

At The College ofThe Bahamas, the lining of the hood is orange and yellow representing 'I11e College's colours.
