Northern Caribbean University

The Northern Caribbean University (NCU) is a tertiary level academic facility in Mandeville, Manchester, west-central Jamaica run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Founded in 1907 as the West Indian Training School, in Bog Walk, St Catherine, it is the oldest private tertiary institution in Jamaica. After moving from Bog Walk to Mandeville in 1919, the institution was called West Indies College (WIC) until 1999 when it became a chartered University. The institution offers courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels in six colleges and schools. These are the Arts and General Studies, Natural and Applied Sciences, Graduate Education and Leadership, Business and Hospitality Management, Teacher Education and Behavioural Science and Religion and Theology. There are plans to expand the nursing program, thanks to a donation by Jamaican billionaire Michael Lee-Chin. The new Nurses School will be called the Hyacinth Chen Nursing School, a separate school away from Northern Caribbean University but still owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
