List of Universities in Micronesia

The College of Micronesia-FSM is the oldest institution of higher education in the country. It offers two and three year associate degree programs in various courses. Upon establishment of FSM government in 1979 a Division of Education was created as part of the Department of Social Services. In 1992, FSM's Congress passed PL 7-97, which called for the establishment of a full-fledged Department of Education, complete with four divisions: Curriculum, Standards, Testing, and Evaluation; Vocational Education Manpower Development and Training; Postsecondary and Scholarship; and Federal Community and Foreign Assistance.
