ovEr thE Last fivE dEcadEs, the Universidad del Pacfico has worked to educate well-rounded, competent and socially responsible professionals who are genuinely dedicated to service and committed to their country.

Second, we encourage our students to stand out for their support of just causes. We want them to be leaders, agents of change who assume the challenge of contributing to the organizations where they work and to society at large, creating better places to live and share. Third, we encourage students to act responsibly in relation to their surroundings through a concern for the most vulnerable sectors of society as well as care for the planet which is the home that we all share. Finally, we seek to ensure that the education and knowledge acquired by our students generate more than just legitimate personal satisfaction but also creates a commitment that goes beyond national borders, creating a vocation of service to the world. The goal of our mission and efforts is to help students become highly competent professionals in their respective disciplines as well as cultured and sensitive citizens who are committed to a socially just, economically prosperous and environmentally sustainable country .

ExcELLEncE

In 2011, we became the first Peruvian university to earn accreditation from AACSB International for both our undergraduate and graduate programs. This places us among the leading universities and business schools in the world.

When aacsb international one of the most important university and business school accreditors in the world granted the universidad del pacfico accreditation, it emphasized our demanding academic environment, commitment to ongoing improvement, excellent international contact networks and a curriculum that is responsive to the needs of the business community. We are very proud to be the first university in peru to earn this important distinction for both our Undergraduate and Graduate schools. This recognition encourages and motivates our efforts to pursue continuous improvement and permanent innovation. Less than 5% of all universities and business schools in the world are accredited by AACSB. Some noteworthy examples of other academic institutions in Latin America that have earned this accreditation include: iaE business school, fundacin Getulio vargas, incaE, universidad de los andes, pontificia universidad catlica de chile, and the instituto tecnolgico y de Estudios superiores de Monterrey. This new accreditation offers many benefits to our university community, including more and better opportunities for education and research as well as significant recognition and international prestige. It is yet another acknowledgement that we are among the best universities and business schools in the world.

LanGuaGE cEntEr
We are pioneers in Peru in English language instruction for business and the use of technological resources in the teaching process. The first English program for executives on the Peruvian market was designed and taught by our Language Center in 1990. Our specialized experience with more than 500 companies has allowed us to design a successful methodology that links work activities to teaching content.
the Goal achievement system, perfected during our over than 20 years of experience, uses the participants work experiences as the central core of course activities. From the first day of classes, small, homogenous groups receive targeted training to develop the communication skills they need to ensure successful job performance. this methodology is complemented by the use of multimedia laboratories and the blackboard educational platform. In addition to offering more than 20 specialized English courses and the opportunity for in-house classes at business offices, we offer courses in Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, French, German as well as Spanish for foreigners.

rEsEarch cEntEr
In a world that is diverse and ever more connected, the Research Center contributes to the development and democratization of Peru through rigorous and ethical investigation of national and international realities by participating in public debate and public policy formation and through the education of leaders who have a vocation for excellence and social responsibility. Many of our researchers are also full-time professors at the university. We also have a growing number of part-time professors, associate researchers and student assistants.

pubLishinG cEntEr
Our publications have a common denominator: a permanent commitment to academic study and research focused on the problems and opportunities that exist in our country. We strive to promote an exchange of ideas among diverse ideological perspectives, strengthen the scientific community, promote new studies in areas that have been under-researched, and improve the quality of higher education. These goals and motivations are the driving forces of UPs editorial policy.
puBLIShIngS Although our Publishing Center was created in 1992, the Universidad del Pacfico has been publishing books and encouraging research since its founding. Currently, in addition to books, the university has other publishing specialties: working documents, university Library,study notes, the Apuntes journal, the Punto de Equilibrio magazine, and conference papers. the thematic areas in which we specialize are business administration and marketing, social sciences and history, accounting and finance, law, economics and economic policy, ethics and theology, linguistics and literature, quantitative methods, small and medium-sized businesses, social policies and social responsibility.

We conduct theoretical and applied research aimed at expanding knowledge and offering practical solutions on issues related to our main research areas. Our research is supported by the University itself, and by numerous national and international foundations and public and private sector entities. Our main research areas are Macroeconomics and Economic policy, social policies, human development and civil society, business Management and social responsibility, natural resources and the Environment, international Economics and business, and regulation, infrastructure and competitiveness. Through our various activities, we promote pluralism of perspectives, train new generations of researchers, and produce new proposals for change. We promote independent and contracted research by up teaching staff and maintain active links with other research centers in peru and abroad.

studEnt ExchanGEs
We have more than 100 agreements for student exchanges with institutions in Europe and north america. Our students can spend one academic semester abroad. Generally, participants pay tuition at their home universities but are responsible for paying their plane fares, lodging, food, personal expenses, health insurance, books and other study materials. Through the Office of International Relations (ORI), students can validate the credits obtained at the host university. On average, 100 to 200 students participate in these exchanges each year.
