Abstract

Beginning with a short review of Bolivia’s socio-economic context, we present a few indicators of the public and private universities in the country and review the contents of psychology pre-graduate programs, the graduate programs offered, and the recent development of quality evaluation systems in Bolivian universities. We also consider the job market and legal status of Psychology, with a brief glance at new opportunities that are emerging for different professional areas and the associations that group and develop the discipline in the country. Finally we explore the challenges faced in this context as a profession, in university education, therefore in faculty training, and as a science, in a country where research is a statement not a reality.
