About AUC
The American University of the Caribbean (AUC) in Les Cayes, Haiti, was founded and incorporated in 1983 as a not-for-profit institution organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes. It is incorporated in the State of Florida, recognized by, and licensed with, the “Ministère de l’Education Nationale et de la Formation Professionelle de la République d’Haïti.”
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.
