There are colleges in Panama City that are both Panamanian and some that are directly affiliated with US colleges. If I am not mistaken either UF or USF have actual campus near or in Clayton area of Panama City.

Are the colleges Spanish or English?

Not sure, I would guess some of both but predominately Spanish.

The FSU campus holds classes in English, since it is an extension of an American university. I'm sure that a further perusal of their individual sites would yield more info on the linguistic requirements.

Cheers.

I knew it was a Florida school, all the letters are the exact same.

Yes, something Floridian at that; its just that there are a lot of the same threads on the site, constantly starting back up without a search to see if the info was already on the site...I think this is the third 'universities' thread--there was one on business schools, and then law schools, and now this...Um--they are all the same colleges and universities...

Cheers.

Yeah, most colleges offer all of these different degrees.

Although, sometimes for more advanced education you have to go to a specialty school.

Of course, you should go to a specialty school, my point was---wait for it!! The graduate schools in Panama are all located at the same institutions!
Once again, I do provide links for exactly this reason, so that one may look at the information, and make suitable judgements. Like the vast majority of American schools, they like to group their advanced degree programs in the same schools; where you find law schools, you are likely to find business schools; where you find medical schools, you are likely to find dentistry schools; where you find engineering programs, you are likely to find a good physics lab.
Again, as with the American model, undergraduate campuses coexist peacefully with their graduate schools. Please look up a few of the schools that are listed in the link and find what you are looking for, instead of starting a new thread for every type of school; the list of schools will just be repeated.

Cheers.

Are the schools ranked differently according to the field? For example, is the best school for business different than the best school for law?

To my knowledge, they aren't 'ranked' like American schools at all. I'm sure you could write to a few professionals in P.C. and ask them which schools they considered to be excellent, but the schools are not ranked in the American sense. The U.K. and France don't rank their schools either--but definitely have a sense of which are the best schools--you've got to do your research.

Cheers.
