The Dominica State College (DSC) is celebrating notable growth in enrolment across several academic programmes for the 2026 intake, with several programmes recording their largest cohorts to date and others returning after periods of inactivity.
Among the standout programmes are:
- Biology: 38 students, up from 24 last year.
- BSc Business Management: 21 students, representing the programme’s largest cohort to date.
- Paralegal Studies: 29 students, also the largest cohort to date.
- Pre-Health: 74 students, comprising new and re-matriculating students.
- Automobile Engineering: 23 students – the first time the programme has exceeded 12 accepted students.
- Electrical Engineering: 26 students – the first time the programme has exceeded 15 accepted students.
- Psychology: 21 students, the programme’s largest cohort to date, compared with a previous high of 12.
- Chemistry: 12 students, marking the first cohort since 2024.
The College is also seeing strong numbers in its Associate Degree in Business Administration, which has attracted 102 students across all concentrations, including new and re-matriculating students. This represents an increase from 78 students last year.
Additional programmes are also showing renewed momentum. Physics is being offered for the first time since 2022, while Geography is running for the second consecutive year, reflecting continued interest in a broader range of academic offerings at DSC.
Growing Interest Among Returning Students
One of the most significant developments for the 2026 intake is the substantial increase in re-matriculation applications.
The College received 239 re-matriculation applications, of which 110 were accepted, compared with 167 applications and 51 accepted students last year.
This increase points to growing interest among adult learners who are returning to the College to complete programmes they previously started or to embark on a new area of study.
The College recognizes the importance of this trend and sees an opportunity to further expand avenues that support adult learners, particularly those seeking to enter or return to Associate Degree programmes.
The strong enrolment figures across these programmes demonstrate continued confidence in the Dominica State College as an institution providing accessible, relevant and quality tertiary education.
As the 2026/2027 academic year gets underway, the College looks forward to supporting this growing student population and building on the momentum across its academic programmes.
