About the university
Bishop Enos Nutthall On September 28, 1885. The Jamaica Female Training College, with Miss Amy Johnson as its Principal and Miss M. C. Randall as her assistant, opened its door to eighteen students. In 1887 the government purchased the property part of the Shortwood Estate on which the college now stands. The Institution was removed to this location and was no doubt called Shortwood Teachers' College after that time. The curriculum was expanded to include practical subjects Agriculture Science, and Domestic Training: Gardening, Cookery and Laundry. Additions was also made to the buildings. From this point the institution experienced a period of quiet and steady growth. Throughout the years the College has offered programmes which prepare students to teach at the Early Childhood, Primary or Secondary level education. In August 2000 the Primary programme was discontinued. Shortwood is the only teachers' college that trains teachers of French and Spanish. The College now offers a Bachelor's degree programme in Early Childhood Education. August 2000 saw the start of a Master's degree programme in Early Childhood Education, offered jointly by the College and the University of South Florida. The College maintains a high standard of academic performance and discipline.
