History
The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) is a four-year, territory-supported, coed, liberal arts institution that was founded in 1962 as the College of the Virgin Islands to serve residents of the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean. To more accurately reflect the growth in programs, the name was changed to the University of the Virgin Islands in 1980. UVI has a main campus in St. Thomas and a branch campus in St. Croix.
The St. Thomas campus occupies 175 acres overlooking the Caribbean Sea, with its own beach, golf course, and tennis courts. The University’s role is the same as state colleges and universities on the mainland of the United States. The University was designated a land-grant college in 1972.
The St. Croix campus is located 40 miles from the main campus and came into use in 1964, adding 130 acres, the headquarters of the Virgin Islands Extension Service, and the Virgin Islands Agricultural Experiment Station to UVI.
UVI is a territory-supported land-grant institution that offers programs of instruction, research, and public service that address the needs of the individual and the region. The University is committed to the advancement of scholarship, excellence, and innovation as it strives to provide intellectual and educational leadership.
