Who are we?<\/h3>\n
\n

UPR Virtual<\/b>, Adjoined to the Vice Presidency of Professional and Distance Programs (VPPAD), is the strategic initiative of the University of Puerto Rico to lead the transformation of distance education. As part of our technological evolution, we have consolidated the online academic offering of the UPR system in the new portal. virtual.upr.edu<\/a><\/b> (formerly known as adistancia.upr.edu).<\/p>\n

Our mission is to centralize and promote access to a diverse offering that spans from certificates and associated degrees to bachelor\u2019s degrees, master\u2019s degrees, and continuing education. At UPR Virtual, equity, adaptability, and collaborative learning are the pillars that drive the academic development of our community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Actualmente contamos con programas 100 % en l\u00ednea, tanto a nivel subgraduado como graduado, y una oferta sin cr\u00e9ditos acad\u00e9micos mediante certificaciones de mejoramiento profesional a trav\u00e9s de las Divisiones de Educaci\u00f3n Continua y Estudios Profesionales (DECEP).<\/a> Cabe destacar que todos nuestros programas acad\u00e9micos est\u00e1n acreditados por la Middle States Commission on Higher Education<\/a> y licenciados por la Junta de Instituciones Postsecundarias<\/a>.

M\u00e1s de un tercio de nuestros programas es \u00fanico en Puerto Rico.
