OUR MISSION

The Bob Marley School for the Arts Institute will be an undergraduate and graduate college, which provides students with a comprehensive and unique opportunity in the arts, communication, and public information within the structure and context of an enlightened liberal education.

The institute’s foremost intent is to educate students, not only in the traditional sense of a liberal arts education, but also in a manner, which fosters ideas and perceptions of their own culture and the culture of Jamaica. These ideas and perceptions will manifest themselves in the works of the students, thus shaping perceptions of current events and defining the culture of their times.

The Bob Marley School for the Arts Institute will distinguish itself as a commuter institution whose students reflect the economic, racial, cultural and educational diversity of contemporary Jamaica. In addition, the Institute will integrate itself into Jamaican culture through its involvement in the life and culture of Trelawny and the whole Jamaica itself.

INTRODUCTION

The Bob Marley School for the Arts Institute will offer students the unique opportunity to obtain a practical education while taking advantage of the wealth of resources, which will be available to them. While creativity in the performing, visual and communication arts will be emphasized, the Institute and its staff will work diligently to see the marketability of the artists and their work to fruition.

Because it will be located in the heart of Montego Bay’s arts and business area, we will involve the community and major employers in an effort to achieve high visibility and recognition for the students and the Institute.

With a staff composed of working artists and educators, the institute believes that students from a variety of cultural, economic and social backgrounds will be given the best practical and liberal arts education. The majority of decisions concerning students’ programs of study and majors will rest with the students.

Under the guidance of department faculty and advisors, students will be encouraged to expand their interests by taking advantage of the Institute’s full offering of liberal arts, core curriculum, and interrelating courses in the performing, visual and communication arts.

The institute will provide the framework in which a student will receive “hands on” apprenticeship using on-the-job equipment. Combined with the state-of-the-art facilities provided on campus, the student will be instilled with the confidence and abilities needed to thrive in highly competitive marketplaces.

In the future students will be immersed in the culture of Jamaica, particularly that of the Trelawny, through the involvement of area facilities. For example, presentations at the Reggae Village will give students performance opportunities, the Centre for Jamaican Culture, Music Research and Museum will prove an invaluable resource, and special lectures, seminars and conferences, which benefit the scholarship funds and endowments, will attract renowned figures from the media and communications professions. All these combine to form an international showcase for student projects which will, ultimately, stimulate fresh interest in the institute, its programs, and, most importantly, its students.
