The College of The Bahamas is the national higher education institution of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The institution grants mostly bachelor degrees and some joint masters degrees in conjunction with other institutions. It has a student enrolment of just under 5,000 students located around the Bahamian archipelago. It has extensive links with tertiary institutions in the Caribbean and North America and its credits are accepted by more than 200 colleges and universities in those regions and in Great Britain. It has embarked aggressively upon a major expansion of its programme offerings, its research activities, and its physical facilities, and is incorporating e-learning methodologies into its repertoire of strategies for delivering instruction, all with a view to attaining a charter as a university by 2010.
