PHILIPSBURG - The University of St. Martin (USM) has extended the deadline for applications for the University of the Virgin Islands’(UVI) Bachelor of Arts in Business program to October 27, 2009.
This was announced on Thursday by the USM Admissions Office.
USM has been offering the BA in Business in conjunction with UVI for over two years now. Students in this program attend regular classes and also via a state of the art video-conferencing class room specifically set up for this purpose.
According to Admissions Director Angelique Hazel, several USM graduates have already completed their application to the Bachelor program and their applications will be sent today to the University of the Virgin Islands for timely review and admittance response.
“Other interested applicants, including students who have not attended USM but are in possession of an Associate degree in Business, can still complete their applications at the USM Admissions Office up to October 27, 2009,” Hazel said.
In addition to an Associate degree in Business, applicants for the UVI Bachelor program are required to submit official college transcripts, a US$25 application fee, copy of passport and proof of residency.
“I encourage all interested to take advantage of the extended deadline and complete the application in a timely manner,” Admissions Director Hazel said.
In addition to the abovementioned BA program, enrollment is also open for other USM degree programs.
The Associate of Arts degrees in Business with specializations in Business Management, Accounting and Computer Information Systems, the Associate of Arts in General Liberal Arts, and Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education all share the November 6 deadline. The application deadline for both the Associate of Applied Science in Hospitality & Tourism Management and Bachelor of Science in Hospitality & Tourism Management is July 8, 2010. Applications are currently being accepted for all the degree programs.
