History:

Founded in 1907 the institution started with only 8 students. It operated as the West Indian Training School in Riversdale, St. Catherine and at first only offered courses up to the twelfth grade. The school moved to its current location near Mandeville, Manchester in 1919. As its offerings developed to include theology, teaching, secretarial science, business, and natural sciences, it became a junior college and was then called the West Indian Training College.

It achieved senior college status in the late 1950's when it began to offer the Bachelor's degree in Theology and was known as West Indies College. Since then, baccalaureate programmes in some twenty other disciplines have been added. The college was granted university status in 1999 by the Jamaican Government and the school became Northern Caribbean University. Presently the university offers over seventy degree programmes, (several of which are graduate programmes) in the sciences, business and education.
