Education System in Dominican Republic

The education system tends to apply the European model created by the Bologna convention. This means that there are three levels in higher education. The first level is a 3 year course that is awarded by the Bachillerato (Bachelor degree); then there is a post graduate program in 1 or 2 years that leads to the licenciaturas (Masters). Finally, students can pursue their studies with the Doctorado (PhD). Education is free and mandatory from ages 5 to 14. Preschool isn't mandatory.

Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) is the oldest university in Latin America and it was established in 1538 by Pope Paul II. Even though the university's management is independant, the government is responsible for all financial resources. This facilitated the UASD to tender free courses to all registered students. 
Universidad Technologica de Santiago is the leading private university and it was created in 1972.
