The university opened its doors and began programs of instruction in 1986 at Rue Antoine Simon in Les Cayes—a peaceful, developing city with exceptional resources and an industrious local population which welcomes the university.

In 1989, the university moved to its present site, the Pierre Toussaint Campus, Charpentier, and into a spacious 61,000 sq ft (5,700 m2) building, the construction of which was funded by the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA).

The university is a developing institution that offers programs and degrees based on the articulated needs of the people of Haiti. As the institution grows and develops, it will change not only in physical appearance but also in programs and degrees offered.
