CMI’s three campuses offer full programs and additional services. Its centers offer adult basic education and some for-credit courses, along with informal training. Sub-centers offer adult basic education and informal training only.
Uliga Campus
The main campus of the College of the Marshall Islands is located in Uliga, Majuro Atoll. Facilities on this campus include Oscar deBrum Memorial Hall, renovated in 1999 and dedicated in memory of CMI’s first Chairman of the Board of Regents in 2002; Residence Halls renovated in 2022; classroom buildings named Rebbelip Hall, Wapepe Hall, and Tolemour Hall the latter of which includes a state-of-the-art Simulation Nursing Laboratory along with Wet and Dry labs for science courses. The Administration Building houses the Office of the President, the Board of Regents Conference Room, Financial Affairs and Business Services, as well as Human Resources. The College Center contains the Library, Special Collections, Nuclear Institute, and the Information Technology Department upstairs and Academic Affairs and Student Services downstairs. The roof over the basketball court has been recently remodeled. The Old Library now houses the National Training Council (NTC) office. There are also conference facilities, a health center, a student lounge, and a fitness center.
Arrak Campus
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Arrak Campus, located at the western tip of Majuro Atoll, served as a quarantine center, but it has recently returned to use for aquaculture research, agriculture research, science education and research, and demonstration/live exhibits through Land Grant. The campus also hosts the Certificate of Completion in Vocational Carpentry, some maritime training courses, and residence halls
Kwajalein Campus
On March 28th, 2022, CMI officially received notification that the CMI Ebeye Center, currently located at Queen of Peace Elementary School, would now be known as the CMI Kwajalein Campus offering in addition to the Adult Basic Education (ABE) program, and non credit programs, full for-credit programs starting the two new vocational programs for the working population to meet their training needs.
There are plans underway for a new building soon while all operations are still made from its current site at the Queen of Peace Elementary School premises. It has two lecture rooms, one computer lab, one Zoom Room with a Library Corner and Administration Office and restrooms.
CMI Education Centers and Sub-Centers
The CMI Centers and Sub-Centers provide access to College courses via teleconferencing, in-person Adult Basic Education courses, workforce development training, libraries, and support services. Jaluit, Ebeye, and Wotje have established centers while Santo and Kili are sub-centers.
Jaluit Center
The Jaluit Center opened in 2017 on Jabor Island between Jaluit High School and Jaluit Elementary School. CMI students can complete up to 50% of their degree programs at the center via teleconferencing, which appeals to in-service teachers in particular. In fall 2019 a cohort of eleven began taking courses towards their BAEE degrees. The center also offers adult basic education courses, primarily in the afternoon as many of the instructors work full-time at the high school and has hosted Youth Corps and workforce development trainings. Community projects include building traditional huts (most recently to serve as a shelter at the airport), setting up and maintaining gardens, and making recycled paper. Community members taking courses from USP also use the computer lab, and the RMI Red Cross has offered first aid certification classes.
The Wotje Center opened on September 28, 2020. Initially, the location offered adult basic education courses, and college-level courses have been offered since the spring 2021 semester. Wotje had its first ABE graduation in June 2022.
CMI Sub-Centers
Santo Sub-Center
Santo Islands is home to almost 1,000 Marshallese residents, including many children. Originally named Ennibur, Santo Island was later renamed Santo after the Japanese word for the number three, which the Americans adopted as “Third Island.” The College of the Marshall Islands has established a center that aims to support the educational needs of the islands.
