Scope and limitations of postgraduate studies at the Autonomous University of Nayarit

Author: América Tonantzin Becerra Romero
Abstract: This paper is the result of research into the impact of graduate programs in Nayarit, particularly those of the Universidad Autónoma de Nayarit. The results show progress at the graduate level, but also ongoing limitations due to the specific nature of the institution and the economic and social contexts. At the state level, progress in postgraduate studies is relative. A majority of programs are concentrated in preprofessional fields, the social sciences, humanities and administrative studies, while there is dearth of accredited programs. Our findings suggest a failure to take full advantage of this educational level for the benefit of the young people in Nayarit.
