Situated between the Andes Mountains and the Amazon River in South America, Bolivia has a surprisingly robust higher education system that includes one of the oldest universities in the Western Hemisphere. In recent years, the government has passed legislation to improve and standardize the quality of instruction in the universities.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.
