CASE is Jamaica’s premier multi-disciplinary College, with a track record of providing “opportunities for growth” of our students.  This is based on our philosophy that “it is only when our students succeed, that we, too, succeed!”  Our mission is “to promote and foster the development of individuals who are professionally qualified, articulate, culturally aware, environmentally and health conscious, morally sensitive, ethically motivated, and service oriented; and in so doing to respond to the needs of Jamaica for persons dedicated to excellence and to increased productivity in their chosen fields”.

We at CASE are keenly aware of the rapid changes which now characterize the world and the attendant requirements on the part of our graduates.  Therefore, our aim is to provide our students with education and training, buttressed by wholesome values and attitudes, which will empower them to be a successful, productive and responsible citizen; this is consistent with the validated national vision for education in Jamaica. 

CASE has a rich historical legacy, an exciting present, and a promising future!  Our graduates may be found occupying leadership positions in careers that span agricultural and veterinary sectors, all branches of science, education, business & economics, public administration and government, to name but a few.  I, too, am a proud graduate of this institution, representing irrefutable proof of CASE’s ability to unlock students’ potential.  It says a lot about an institution when it can be led by one of its own graduates. 

CASE is classified as a “Grade A” College by the Jamaican Ministry of Education & Youth; this is the highest tier in the ranking of Colleges.  CASE is a vibrant academic community of more than 1,000 students, together with a staff complement of over 200 persons.  Some of our distinct advantages are: a student-centered teaching/learning environment; relevant and accredited programs; a team of highly qualified and experienced Administrators and Lecturers; a breathtakingly beautiful campus; vibrant co-curricular activities and student groups; affordable fees; scholarships; and on-campus employment opportunities.  Through our four major academic units CASE offers Bachelors’ and Associate of Science Degrees and Diplomas in agriculture, business, education, hospitality management, and natural and environmental sciences, which are designed to meet the developmental needs of Jamaica, the wider Caribbean, and the world at large.
