University of St. Martin

USM was established in 1989 by Dr. Albert Claudius Wathey and Ambassador Dr. Hushang Ansary as an annex of Johnson & Wales University.

Its peach and white buildings overlook the Great Salt Pond in picturesque Philipsburg.

By forging a symbiotic relationship with the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), USM planned to build additional classrooms and dormitories.

The agreement, popularly referred to as UVI@USM, made it possible for students on the island to obtain North American accredited BA and MA degrees.

Besides these courses through the UVI@USM students also were eligible to enroll in degree programs offered by the University of the Virgin Islands.
