Universities in Bangladesh are
mainly categorized into three different types: Public (government
owned and subsidized),Private (private sector owned
universities), and International (operated and funded by
international organizations such as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation).
The University of Dhaka, established in 1921, is
the oldest university of the country. Bangladeshi universities are affiliated
with the University Grants Commission,
a commission created according to the Presidential Order (P.O. No 10 of 1973) of
the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
Out of the 6 divisions of Bangladesh, Dhaka
Division houses 58 out of a total of 87, of them 52 in Dhaka, the capital
city. Most universities focus on general studies, mixing together such areas of
study as business, engineering and technology. Seven universities have
specialized curricula. Two of these are focused on Islamic
studies, two on agricultural science, one on healthcare science, one on veterinary medicine, and one on women's
studies.
