SCHULMEYER, Marion K.. 20 YEARS OF PSYCHOLOGY AT PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN BOLIVIA. Ajayu [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.2, pp.1-21. ISSN 2077-2161.

Literature on the development of psychology in Bolivia is limited and is centered on the first psychology programs that appeared in the 70s. 30 years ago private universities started and have grown to receive and graduate more than 30% of the university students of the country. This article presents the different types of universities that exist in Bolivia (Public Autonomous Universities, Special Regime Universities, Private Universities and Private Universities affiliated to the CEUB), the political context in which private universities were born, and the psychology training programs that started in private universities 20 years ago. The contributions of programs and people behind them are recovered to the extent that information availability permitted it. Finally, some data on the enrolment of students to private universities is presented.
