OUR HISTORY

The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) has a rich history of innovation, growth, and academic excellence. Established in 2002 through the acquisition of the Institute of Management and Production (IMP), UCC has since evolved into one of the Caribbean’s premier private universities.

From its early partnerships with international institutions like Florida International University (FIU) and the University of London, UCC expanded its academic offerings to include executive and doctoral programs. By 2017, UCC upgraded to university status, reflecting its commitment to institutional growth, global partnerships, and academic excellence.

In 2019, UCC achieved institutional accreditation from the University Council of Jamaica (UCJ), positioning itself among a select group of institutions with this recognition. The university continued to expand its global reach, launching UCC Global in 2023 to enroll international students across 20 countries.

Today, UCC stands as a fully recognized teaching university with a vision to establish EcoVista Jamaica, a University Town in Trelawny, fostering academic and technological advancements. With a strong foundation in quality education, strategic partnerships, and continuous innovation, UCC remains dedicated to empowering students for global success.
