The Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University (UIGV) is a private university located in the city of Lima, Peru. Founded on December 21, 1964, during the first government of President Fernando Belaúnde Terry. It is currently in the period of cessation of activities due to the fact that the Superintendencia Nacional de Educación Superior Universitaria (SUNEDU) denied his licensing.
The Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University was created in December 1964 by Supreme Decree No. 74 and 26-A.[2] It took the name of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, a writer and historian of Hispanic-Inca descent considered the "first biological and spiritual mestizo of America".[3]
Initially the university functioned as a pedagogical university, then having six faculties, but over the years it expanded its educational offer reaching a total of ten faculties that taught seventeen undergraduate degrees.[4] In 1992, it began its undergraduate study program distance learning, and in 2010 it opened a graduate school that offered up to fifteen master's degrees and seven doctoral programs.[4]
Currently, the university has thirteen faculties and one graduate school. In total, it offers 48 undergraduate degrees, 38 master's degrees, and 11 doctorates, in addition to 24 second-specialty programs.[1]
On October 10, 2019, the Superintendencia Nacional de Educación Superior Universitaria (Sunedu) denied his licensing due to non-compliance with various basic quality conditions. For this reason, the university must cease its activities within a period of two years, counted from the following academic semester.[5][6]
In May 2020, Sunedu extended to five years (three additional) the deadline for the cessation of academic activities of all universities with a denied license, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, during this period said houses of study will not be able to carry out admission processes.[7]
