Historians agree that the first Haitian institution of higher education was created in the Kingdom of the North governed by Henri the 1st (after President Henri Christophe proclaimed himself king) between 1815 and 1820. The Académie Royale du Nord(Northern Royal Academy) offered programs in medicine, surgery and pharmacy, agriculture, and arts and trades. After the unification of the country during the Boyer administration, the Académie Nationale de Port-au-Prince was created. It was followed by the Académie d'Haiti, which is the real predecessor of the current public university system, the Université d'Etat d'Haiti.
