“Where we are going in terms of the University’s online initiative is absolutely the norm,” said Board Trustee Jennifer Nugent Hill. “It is changing the entire state of education. I think this opens up a world of opportunity for us in the Virgin Islands and certainly as alumna of the University, I’m absolutely proud of us using technology to advance the teaching and education.”
UVI lies in the heart of the beautiful Caribbean. The UVI experience is uniquely multi-cultural, international, entrepreneurial and intellectually stimulating. UVI provides a vital and exciting environment for educating future leaders of the global 21st century community. In addition to new programs, in 2018, UVI online students will also have the option to complete mini-residency programs on the island of St. Thomas while earning academic credit.
In order to further meet the needs of global online learners, the UVI leadership team is developing a program to provide free laptops to students as part of their online programs. Additional information on the laptops for education initiative are expected to be available later in 2018.
“As we prepare for the future growth and innovation of our traditional on ground university, I am proud that through UVI online, we can now offer courses and programs in a 100 percent online asynchronous format,” said David Hall, president of the University of the Virgin Islands. “This will truly extend the reach of our Historically American, Uniquely Caribbean University to serve a global student population.”
