Distance Graduate Education in Argentina: Current situation and trends

Graduate education in Argentina has experienced sustained expansion since the 1990s, a trend that solidified in subsequent decades, leading to a transformation of program offerings and the need for appropriate regulatory frameworks.

As part of a comparative study on distance graduate programs in the MERCOSUR region, which includes graduate programs in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, this article presents findings on the development, current status, and future challenges of distance graduate programs in Argentina.
