The flag of USMA is vertically divided sky blue-white with a cross flory in the
white part. Sky blue represents the patron saint of the university, the Blessed
Virgin. White represents peace. The cross, taken from the coat of arms of the
university, symbolizes the Catholic origin of the university.
