Barbados Community College officials visit DSU

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

A delegation from Barbados Community College (BCC) joined its collaborators at Delaware State University to learn more about the First State’s only Historically Black Institution of Higher Education and to plan the second academic year of its joint program.

DSU welcomed Samuel Bowen, BCC Deputy Principal; Dr. Raquel Collymore, BCC Director of Counseling and Placement; Dr. Caroline Woodroffe-Holder, BCC Assistant Registrar; and Hakeem Greenridge, Technical Support Specialist to its main campus on Oct. 7.

Through a partnership with Barbados Community College (BCC), Delaware State University provides academic programs that enable Barbadian students to earn bachelor’s degrees in Agriculture, Mathematics, Biological Sciences, and Chemistry.

The academic programs were launched in August 2023 with a diverse group of 60 students enrolled in accelerated courses taught in eight-week semesters. The Barbadian students are connected with DSU faculty members online from a BCC classroom, where they are gathered as a group. At the same time, course managers from the BCC also assist them in their classrooms.

The DSU students in Barbados completed four accelerated semesters by the end of the program’s inaugural 2023-2024 school year.
