La educación superior en América Latina se encuentra hoy ante desafíos de enorme envergadura. El crecimiento cuantitativo de las universidades latinoamericanas, en términos de alumnado y creación de centros, debería ir acompañado de un incremento parejo de la calidad académica. Este artículo analiza el caso particular de la educación superior en la República Dominicana para, a partir de él, realizar diagnósticos y sugerencias aplicables para el conjunto de América Latina.Algunos de los retos analizados son los desafíos que plantea la globalización y la internacionalización; la tarea urgente de incrementar la cantidad y calidad de la investigación, así como de conectarla con la docencia universitaria; la necesidad de asegurar la formación disciplinar y metodológica de los docentes (en especial, a través del doctorado); así como la importancia que reviste el Portal Web de las Universidades, como forma de interactuar creativamente con los agentes nacionales e internacionales.
