    This document takes a brief historical look at the emergence of the associate degree in the US and of the different types of associate degrees that have evolved in the Caribbean. It also reviews the development of a framework for the associate degree in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS): Antigua and Barbuda, The British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. In addition, some important initiatives that should contribute to the long-term viability of the associate degree in the sub-region are identified and examined. Model syllabuses, sample exam papers, sample answers, and mark sheets are appended.

    The emergence of community, state and national colleges in the OECS member countries: An institutional analysis
    (Institute of Social and Economic Research (Eastern Caribbean), 1993) Peters, Bevis Franklin;
    This document describes and analyses developments in national tertiary education institutions in the seven countries of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS)--Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It employs a framework of institutional analysis to probe the rationale, structures, functions, and resources of these nascent institutions. The paper identifies a critical challenge involving the adaptation of traditional community college models to suit the indigenous characteristics and needs of these small, island societies. It is concluded that with the adoption of an institution-building framework and process, the new colleges will be able to undertake systematic planning and build on the gains so far achieved
