LESS than two years after changing its name from Jamaica Bible College to Regent College of the Caribbean, academic dean of the Mandeville-based institution, Dr Bryan Wallace, says they have witnessed a 25 per cent increase in enrolment and are hoping to achieve full capacity come the next school semester.
Dr Wallace says although the institution offers courses in business studies, early childhood education and counselling, it had dificulty attracting non-theological students.
"The prevailing perception out there was that the college was a Bible college, and that we only offered biblical programmes and prepared persons for pastoral ministry or other areas of ministry in parachurch organisations," he said.
In addition to having a school of Bible and theology, a school of business and a school of education, the institution also has a school of continuing education that offers CXC classes to prepare students to meet the prerequisites to enter tertiary programmes.
