In the Latin American docta the doctorates might pertain to five fields of knowledge: Applied Sciences, Basic Sciences, Health Sciences, Human Sciences and Social Sciences. The doctoral studies offered by the Argentine universities include multiple fields and do have national and international validity of the degrees granted. Post-grade Regulation System in Argentina The academic regulations in Argentina prescribe that all graduate courses must be accredited by the National Commission for University Evaluation and Accreditation. Such an entity stands as a public and decentralized body working under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education, Science and Technology. It is aimed at securing public faith by means of evaluation and accreditation systematic processes, and it is responsible for the institutional evaluation of all national, provincial and private universities and for submitting recommendations regarding new public universities´ institutional undertakings. Its role also involves requesting temporary and permanent authorizations from private higher education institutions. Regarding graduate programs, the academic act sets out that the National Commission for University Evaluation and Accreditation must provide all of them with accreditation, such graduate programs being as Especializaciones, Maestrías o Doctorados (Majors, Master´s or PhDs), by stating they fully agree with the standards set forth by the Ministry of Science and Technology together with the Universities Council. The CONEAU also sets out that private institutions must secure the existence of inner institutional evaluation mechanisms, complemented with external evaluations, which shall be regularly conducted at least every six years, within the framework of the objectives set forth by each institution. External evaluations are carried out by the National Commission for University Evaluation and Accreditation) or private entities created to that effect, together with the participation of highly competent academic peers. Likewise, the Argentine Higher Education institutions voluntarily provide accreditation to some of their courses of studies which are externally evaluated by renowned international entities in order to maintain high quality standards and improve the academic services they render.
