About The College of The Bahamas
Established by an Act of Parliament in 1974, The College of The
University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) Bachelor of Pharmacy

tions: The Bahamas Teachers’ College, San Salvador Teachers’
College, C. R. Walker Technical College and the sixth form
programme of The Government 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, certificates
and General Certificate in Education (GCE) ‘A’ Level studies. In
2000, The Bahamas Hotel Training College was amalgamated
The College offers two Master’s degree programmes, an M.B.A.
and an M.Sc. in Reading. In partnership with universities and
colleges abroad, the institution has also facilitated at least
seven graduate degree programmes: M.A. Health Administration
[Western Connecticut State University]; M.A. Teaching & Learning
with Technology [Ashford University]; MLIS Library & Information
Sciences [University of South Florida]; M.Ed. Special Education,
with The College of The Bahamas.

autonomy of its affairs and an expanded mandate was passed,
establishing a new era. The College had already accumulated an
offering of three Associate degrees: Arts, Science and Applied
Science; and one baccalaureate degree, the Bachelor in Business
Administration (B.B.A). A Bachelor of Education degree was also
offered jointly with the University of the West Indies (UWI).
The College of The Bahamas Today
Since 1995, The College’s academic offerings have expanded
through the introduction of baccalaureate degree programmes
offered across a broad range of approximately 60 majors. It
also facilitates the UWI Bachelor of Law degree (LL.B.) and the
[Kent State University] and M.Sc. Early Childhood & Elementary
The College now graduates more baccalaureate students than it
does any other group. Its mix of graduates has changed from 30
percent associate degree recipients and 70 percent certificate,
diploma and other awardees in 1978 to 70 percent baccalaureate
degree recipients and 30 percent associate degree and other
certificate awardees in Spring 2012.
More than 12,000 persons are alumni of The College.

March on Bahamaland
Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland,
March on to glory, your bright banners waving high,
See how the world marks the manner of your bearing;
Pledge to excel thro’ love and unity.
Pressing onward, march together, to a common loftier goal;
Steady sunward tho’ the weather hide the wide and treacherous shoal.
Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland,
Till the road you’ve trod lead unto your God, March on Bahamaland.

Though apart we’ll be together always friends,
Working hard for love of country, ‘til the end,
We will live to praise your name filled with pride,
Knowledge, Truth, Integrity will be our guide.

Congratulations.
President’s Message
Dr. Rodney D. Smith
It is my distinct pleasure to congratulate
On behalf of everyone at the College, I hope that today is the
the graduates of the Class of 2015! Today’s
start of a new journey for you. I wish you every success for the
ceremony is the culmination of years of
future and welcome you as the newest alumni of The College of
study, hard work, and dedication. It is an
The Bahamas.
opportunity for the entire College community to celebrate your success and for your
family and friends to share in your pride in
achieving this goal.
I hope that today will be an occasion that you will remember
fondly for the rest of your lives. It is also an important day for
the parents, partners, family and friends of the graduates. The
achievement of a degree is one that is seldom managed without
the support and encouragement of those closest to us. Therefore,
today is also a celebration of the persistent support that was
given freely to each graduate.
We are united today by a shared sense of pride in achievement.
The College of The Bahamas is proud of its graduates and we hope
you are equally proud to be joining a community of alumni that is
in its 41st year of service to the College and the wider Bahamian
community. We hope you will take confidence from that history,
which shows that College of The Bahamas graduates have gone
on to great success in life. We also hope you will remember your
time here as being some of the happiest years of your life.
Our theme for this year’s Commencement activities is “Transforming the Nation, Impacting the World”, and we want each
graduate to make this their goal in whatever they do. American
journalist Tom Brokaw once said, “You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the
good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it
as your ticket to change the world.” With the degree, certificate
or diploma that you have earned, it is my expectation that you
will use it to transform yourselves, your community, and through
these, The Bahamas.
