Congratulations to the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI)! Forbes Magazine recently praised the UVI for offering one of the best online learning models among Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) in the United States. The UVI online degree program was recognized among ten distinguished HBCUs for its low student-to-faculty ratio, relatively high student retention rate, and low average net price per year. The rankings appear in a June 6 article in Forbes Magazine. Forbes said UVI was chosen for creating a system that worked well as a classroom setting where all users engaged in the same activity, and for having interactive features through chat exchanges and message delivery.
UVI began offering online degree programs for graduate and undergraduate students in 2018. Leadership at UVI said they were exploring online courses at the time the hurricanes hit, and were able to utilize the infrastructure that had already been developed to bring university-level courses to the school virtually.
