FACULTY OF EDUCATION & LIBERAL STUDIES

The Faculty of Education and Liberal Studies (FELS) comprises the School of

Technical and Vocational Education (SOTAVE) and the School of Humanities

and Social Sciences (SHSS) formerly the Department of Liberal Studies (DOLS).

In SOTAVE, student teachers pursue studies in how to deliver the grades seven

to nine curricula, the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) cur-

riculum, and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) cur-

riculum. The offerings range from industrial technology (electrical, mechanical

and construction) to family and consumer studies (food and nutrition, textiles

and fashion, and family studies) and business and computer studies (business

studies, computer technology, and administrative management and technol-

ogy). The school also offers an independent Bachelor of Arts degree in Apparel

Design, Production and Management (ADP & M) for those interested in the

Caribbean’s developing fashion industry.

In SHSS, students are able to pursue arguably the most comprehensive under-

graduate communication and media degree in Jamaica. In the Bachelor of Arts

in Communication Arts and Technology, students are taken through the

rigours of photography, video editing, oral communication, advertising, public

relations and journalism on a multimedia platform that makes them optimally

marketable in today’s information age. The School also offers general educa-

tion modules in second language (English) and foreign languages (Spanish,

French and Japanese). Psychology, Sociology and other humanities and social

sciences modules complete its offerings.
