The Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) was founded in 1538 as the University of Santo Tomás de Aquino, making it the oldest university in the Americas. It was originally affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, but its religious ties were severed in the early 19th century. The university was reorganized in 1914 and renamed the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo.

The UASD has played a significant role in Dominican history. It has been a center of intellectual thought and activism, and its students and faculty have been at the forefront of many social and political movements.

Today, the UASD is the largest and most prestigious university in the Dominican Republic. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs in a wide range of disciplines, and its graduates make up a significant portion of the country's professional and intellectual elite.

The UASD is a proud symbol of Dominican culture and heritage. It is a place where students can learn and grow, and where scholars can conduct research and teach. The UASD has played a vital role in the Dominican Republic's development, and it continues to be a force for good in the country.
