University  Information

Costa Rica now boasts four state-funded Universities
and a score of small private ones, whose number
has increased dramatically in the last decade, due to 
the difficulty of being admitted to state-funded, more
prestigious Universities.  Opportunities abound for adults 
to earn the primary or secondary diplomas they failed 
to gain as children.

The University of Costa Rica (UCR), the largest and 
oldest university, enrolls some 35,000 students, mostly 
on scholarships,  but even paying full tuition is not hard
as it rarely surpasses $200 a semester.

The main campus  is in the Northeastern San Jose community
of  Sa  Pedro, but the UCR also has regional centers in Alajuela, 
Turrialba,  Puntarenas and Cartago.

The National University in Heredia, offers a variety
of liberal arts, sciences and professional studies
to 13,000 students.

Cartago's Technical Institute of Costa Rica (ITCR) 
specializes in science and technology and seeks to train people
for agriculture, industry and mining.

And the State Correspondence University, founded
in 1978, is modeled after the United Kingdom's Open University 
and has 32 regional centers offering 15 degree courses in health,
education, business administration and the liberal arts.

In addition there are many private institutions like, the Autonomous
University of Central America,  the University for Peace, sponsored
by the United Nations, offering a Master's Degree in Communications 
for Peace.
