Custom novelty Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo Diploma for gift, UASD Diploma, The University of Santo Domingo was established by the Papal Bull In Apostolatus Culmine, issued on October 28, 1538, by Pope Paul III. This bull elevated to university status the General Study that the Dominicans had been running since 1518 in Santo Domingo, the viceregal capital of the colonization and the oldest colonial settlement in the New World.
The University of Alcalá de Henares served as its model and, as such, was a standard-bearer of the Renaissance ideas emerging from the medieval world, from which Spain was emerging during the days of the conquest.
The nascent University began its teaching organized into four Faculties: Medicine, Law, Theology, and Arts, in accordance with the standards established at the time for similar institutions in the metropolis. The Arts studies included two modalities: the “trivium,” comprising Grammar, Rhetoric, and Logic, and the “quadrivium,” encompassing Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, and Music.
Vicissitudes: In 1801, as a consequence of the Haitian occupation of the country, the University suspended its operations because the Dominicans, who administered it, abandoned the colony. It reopened in 1815, when the colony returned to Spanish sovereignty, but from then on adopted a secular character. Order Open University of Mauritius Diploma.
