Codrington College

Codrington College (founded 1745) is one of the OLDEST tertiary institutions in the Western Hemisphere — an Anglican theological college in St. John, Barbados, today affiliated with the University of the West Indies (degrees awarded through the UWI). 🕯️ Honest context (officially acknowledged): the college was endowed from the Codrington plantations, which were worked by enslaved Africans; the successor body of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (now USPG) and the Church of England have formally apologised for this history and engaged in reparative work — recorded factually and with gravity, consistent with how institutions' own slavery links are documented elsewhere in AlmiStudy. ⚠️ Added by curator (collector omission of a historically major institution).

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.
