Santo Domingo, R.D. – The School of Physics at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) enthusiastically announces that registration is now open for its renewed academic offer. Through the official student management platform, interested parties can access the updated curriculum for the Bachelor of Physics, as well as two new frontiers of knowledge at the institution: the Bachelor of Atmospheric Sciences and the Bachelor of Geophysics.

This enablement allows students to enroll in high-level programs designed under a competency-based approach that guarantees academic quality and curricular innovation. These plans have been developed in close coordination with the productive sector and comply with international standards, the National Development Strategy (END), and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A Milestone for Dominican Science

The formal launch of these study plans took place on Wednesday, February 4, in the Faculty of Sciences' Board of Directors Room. The event was attended by prominent university authorities and academics, including:

Prof. Ferreira Capellán, Dean of the Faculty of Sciences.
Prof. Franklin Suzaña, Vice Dean.
Dr. Emma Encarnación, Director of the School of Physics.
Prof. Noel de la Rosa, General Director of DIGEPLANDI.
Prof. Erika Montero, Curricular Coordinator of the School of Physics and the Teaching Diploma in Competency-Based Approach.
Jeremy Santana, President of the Physics Students Association.

The event also brought together school directors, curricular experts, and department chairs. The presence of representatives from the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (INDOMET) was highlighted, as they validated the importance of these new careers in strengthening the country's scientific and technological development.

The Institute of Physics (IFIS) extends its warmest congratulations to the School of Physics for this historic achievement, which significantly increases the Dominican Republic's capacity for high-level scientific training.
