Saint Monica University or Saint Monica University: The American International University (SMU) is an accredited private independent Catholic university with operations in Cameroon. It is an American-style university offering career-focused programs that are at the intersection of liberal arts, science, and technology. It provides educational opportunities for the intellectual, social, entrepreneurial and professional development of a diverse student population.
The university offers Bachelor's, Master's and programs on-campus in Cameroon and online. The university's motto is "Servire Sine Fine," Latin for “Service Without Limit.” The university's slogans include “Transforming Lives, Transforming Society” and "Learn with Support, Graduate with Confidence."
The university operates four schools:
In addition, it has specialized institutes including the International Institute of Petroleum Studies (IIPS), which operates under the SSET; the Physician Assistant Training Institute (PATI), which operates under the SHHS; the Institute for Ethics, Democracy, and Human Rights (IEDHR), which operates under the SAEH; the Institute for Sustainable Development & Entrepreneurship (ISDE), which operates under the SBPP; and the Institute of Biodiversity and Non-profit Studies (IBiNS), which operates under the SBPP and in collaboration with the training and capacity building division of the Environment and Rural Development Foundation (ERUDEF).
The roots of the university go back to 2001, when a group of American intellectuals originally from Cameroon decided to start a US-style university in Cameroon. In 2009, the Professional Training Center (PTC) went operational in Bamenda, Cameroon, approved by the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training. It provided training in sustainable energy, especially solar energy. In 2012, Saint Monica University replaced the PTC, with the incorporation of the university in Hawaii in the United States as a non-profit institution offering Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral programs.
In the same year (2012), Saint Monica University began seeking authorization to operate in Cameroon and was granted permission, where it operates under the name, Saint Monica University (SMU) Higher Institute.
In 2014, SMU sought to establish a campus in the UK. It was registered with the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP). The company was, however, dissolved in May 2016.
