The Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), recognized as the oldest university in the Americas, has unveiled an innovative initiative to deliver fully virtual diploma programs specifically tailored for Dominicans residing overseas. This groundbreaking educational expansion will be administered through the university’s New York office in partnership with the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences’ Continuing Education Unit.
The strategic program aims to fortify academic connections with the extensive Dominican diaspora while addressing critical professional development needs among expatriate communities across the United States, Europe, and other international regions. Professor Ileana Ramírez Portorreal emphasized the institution’s deepened commitment to supporting global Dominican professionals through these offerings, highlighting their practical curriculum designed for immediate application in contemporary business environments.
Three specialized diploma programs comprise the initial launch: A comprehensive 80-hour Diploma in Foreign Trade and Customs Operations conducted Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; a 64-hour Diploma in Senior Management held during identical Sunday hours; and a 60-hour Diploma in Business Strategies and Digital Marketing offered Saturdays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The curriculum has been meticulously developed by subject matter experts to align with the unique professional challenges faced by Dominicans abroad. All instruction will be delivered through live virtual sessions, facilitating real-time interaction with instructors, access to continuously updated materials, and sustained academic support throughout each program.
Successful participants will receive formal certification endorsed by UASD, with intentionally limited enrollment capacities to maintain educational quality and personalized attention.
