Cost of University in the DR

[drpesson]

Most docs have horrific bedside manners. It is a very antiquated practice of medicine, nothing holistic about it at all.

That sure is true. "Nothing holistic " is also a great observation. We kind of expect that in other countries.I guess they dont teach it here.
I reflectls badly on the quality of medicine here.

I think the "prima donna " culture is comon with most specialties here. It's like dont ask any questions. After 30 seconds of interaction with the Dr you can see it.

They have to separate the personal aspect to be able to do their job well.

I don't think many of them could handle the trauma of losing so many friends.

The Gastroenterologist I see is like that, but the Urologist I see is very personable and friendly.

First, a reminder: A bachelors degree here is a High School Diploma.

A bachelor´s is a college degree., not high school.

 

[bob saunders]

Bachillerato en educacion medio is what a high school diploma is called. A bachelor's degree is called Licentiatura.

US bachelor’s equals DR bachelor’s. The interesting part is that across the Mona Passage bachelor’s go back to being a university degree. It might be the only Spanish speaking place where that’s the case and I think it’s very obvious why.

Those are one of the titles that are recognized by the DR, but they can’t be inherit by his/her kids/spouse(s)/etc. The only way to earn a meritocratic title is by graduating from a university or even a technical school (though that one isn’t called licenciatura) and other types such as flight schools (a pilot you always refer to as pilot first and then name.) Once granted they can’t be taken away except by the school that grant it in extreme circumstances.

The other recognized titles are military ones (sergeant, general, etc.) (And honorary titles.)

Once a title is granted it must be included in front of the name, but sometimes this isn’t done (usually Lic. or some professions like a lawyer.)

That’s basically it. Inherited titles, nobiliary titles, etc aren’t recognize in the DR.

Though when the Spanish monarchy is in the DR (which is multiple times every year), the Spanish King and the Spanish Queen are often referred as that and tend to get the upmost respect those titles give everywhere they go. That’s despite technically when the Spanish monarchy is in the DR they aren’t king/queen since the DR doesn’t officially recognize them. This is done more out of respect and tradition since during colonial times the Spanish Monarchy was the rulers of what is now the DR for about 300 years.

It would be interesting to see what would happen in Barbados if the British Monarchy returns one day. When Barbados was part of the Commonwealth it was obligatory to uphold the nobiliary titles of the British Monarchy (you even see the queen or king in the local money like in the Jamaican dollar or the Canadian dollar.) About a year or two ago Barbados left the Commonwealth. Technically, the British Monarchy wouldn’t be recognize.

The thing is the British Monarchy technically isn’t recognized in the USA either since it isn’t part of the Commonwealth, but for example Prince Harry, who now lives in California and technically isn’t a prince even in the UK because he renounced that position, is still called Prince Harry.

This is silly bickering, when we were clearly discussing a 4 year standard undergrad degree. And, btw Bob, you can only acheive licenciature if there is some certification or examination process at the end of the degree process (grad or undergrad). A gen Z-er with a bachelor's in creative arts is no Licenciado. An attorney, certain categories of teachers, accountants etc. Furthermore if your 4 year standard undergrad degree is computer science or say industrial engineering, you are titled Ingeniero, not Licenciado.

My comment was a response to JD's comment. I had no intentions to provide a lecture.

Dude the point is you're bickering with a reputable attorney, when you knew damn well what the conversation was. Tired old Bob. 25 years boring the living piss out of this board

 

[cavok]

In general, I think a university bachelor's degree here is only the equivalent of graduating from a good high school in the US.

Hijo, Bob, the back and forth stops now, there is no reason for it. It is getting old, the same on every thread.

You do notice who initiates it.

I know it's a very vague question and depends on a number of factors, but does anyone have experience of how much it costs to put a kid through university here?

And before anyone says it, I have searched for information online and found it very confusing, so first hand knowledge from someone here would be very helpful.

Thanks!

If you're looking at a public university, tuition can range from $5,000 to $15,000 per year, depending on the program. Private universities are higher—some go well over $30,000/year.
