Minoan International College is the new name of TRINITY International School of Tourism Management. A new age has dawned for education in Greece. Recent legislation puts private and independent institutions of higher learning under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education and grants qualifying institutions the status of “Colleges”. This long-awaited correction to a legislative gap is applauded by those of us who take higher education seriously.
