University of the Virgin Islands has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 99%. The average net price after financial aid is $7,469 per year.

The University of the Virgin Islands is a public historically black land-grant university in the United States Virgin Islands.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the exceptionally low average net price of $7,563/year and modest median debt of $9,500 make this one of the more affordable college options you'll find, which matters. However, a 29% graduation rate is a serious concern — fewer than 1 in 3 students finish — and median earnings of $35,500 a decade out suggest limited economic lift for those who do. Worth considering if you have strong personal reasons to stay in the Virgin Islands and a clear plan to be in the minority that actually completes a degree.
