Universidad del Itsmo - Panama online university - Avidreader - 07-26-2024
Here is yet another fully accredited Latin American university that accepts foreign students that offers a wide variety of online degrees and a few certificates. All degrees in this school are in Spanish.
Panama's currency is the USD, which makes their degrees pricier than other countries, but they have several degrees that I haven't seen elsewhere so far.
List of degrees:
Associates:
Business Administration
Cybersecurity
IT Systems

I can't find an exact cost for the degrees, but it seems like you pay as you go by trimester or by subject. Each month costs around 100 USD. You can take minimum 3 courses per trimester and maximum 6. They seem adamant regarding admission for international students to have all prior degrees translated to Spanish and have a La Haya Apostillate. I am unsure if a student can accelerate the degrees (wording seems to hint it might be possible but it would be best to get confirmation from the school).
It seems like their associates degrees cost around 2000 usd and bachelors 4000 USD, but if they allow credits from prior degrees, the price and speed to get the degrees might accelerate since they have a few Gen Eds courses in the first trimester.
They also have several certificate programs in courses like:
Storytelling and Branding cert (seems aimed at Market Branding)
Social Media Management
Business Analytics
Marketing Analytics
Inbound Marketing
Facilitator Formation
Social Media Applied to Tourism
Web Analytics
Statistics for Decision Making
Project Management
Direct Ability Development
Sports Facility Management
Administration of Garment and Fashion Marketing
Advertising Analytics
Growth Hacking
Podcasting
E-Commerce
Design, Communication, Fashion Design
Mobile Marketing
Big Data
Professional Voiceover (doesn't seem to specify if certification is for voice acting or voice recording for commercials)
Human Resources Management
Business Management
Community Management
Business Innovation
Blockchain
SEO Search Engine
Startup Incubation
It seems like most certificates cost 1500 usd. There is also an Excel course.
Some degrees sich as the Flight Attendant Associates degree requires a short internship where the student practices their skills in a real airline for around 15-30 hours a week, to bear this in mind for international applicants. International students will likely have to find an airline in their country that accepts as an intern.
