	United Theological College of the West Indies
	Kingston, Jamaica

	History:	The United Theological College, founded in 1964, is the product of a process of ecumenical cooperation which came about with the merger of Calabar Theological College (Baptist), Union Theological Seminary, (Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational, Moravian, Disciples of Christ) and St. Peter's College (Anglican). In 1966 the laying of foundation stone for the present structure took place which led to the College operating as a single campus in 1967.

	Profile:	The United Theological College of the West Indies (UTCWI) currently offers eight major academic programs, five of which lead to University of West Indies awards, two to its own awards, and one is done jointly with Colombia Theological Seminary. UTCWI Awards: The Certificate in Ministerial Studies Diploma in Ministerial Studies UTCWI/UWI Awards: Licentiate in Theology (L.Th.)

	Needs:	The College has recently admitted its first two candidates for the Ph.D. degree. This degree will be offered by the University of the West Indies with which the College is affiliated but all teaching and supervision will be the responsibility of the College. As a consequence, the College needs to upgrade its library facilities to expand its research capabilities in terms of books and information technology. The College is in need of new computer equipment to allow students access to the Internet. Funding is therefore being sought for this computer project and also for the physical expansion of the library to cope with the growing number of graduate students at the masters and doctoral levels.
