University of Lima
The University of Lima (Spanish: Universidad de Lima; IPA: [uniβeɾsiˈðað ðe ˈlima]; ) is a private research university in Lima, Peru. Its influence, wealth, and rankings have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the country.
Established on April 25, 1962; the decision to create the University of Lima was made in 1960 by a group of college professors, along with commerce and industry representatives, which gathered in the PRODIES Civil Association (Promotion of Industrial Development through Higher Education). It started operations after two years of research and development. At first, they only enrolled 120 students in a small campus in the Jesús María District. Due to the university's quick growth (particularly due to its business program), a new campus in the Monterrico neigbourhood of Santiago de Surco was inaugurated on August 27, 1966 to serve the university's space needs.
Since 1996, it is part of the Consortium of Universities as a founding member. It is formed by other 3 private higher education institutes considered the best in their respective fields; the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru specializing in social studies, Universidad del Pacífico in economics, and Cayetano Heredia University in medicine.
