Ricardo Palma University (Spanish: Universidad Ricardo Palma; URP) is a private university located in Lima, Peru. Located in the district of Santiago de Surco, it was founded on July 1, 1969.[1] It is named after Peruvian writer Ricardo Palma.
History
The process to create the university was started on April 12, 1969, and organised by a group headed by Antonio San Cristóbal. By Decree Law No. 17723, dated July 1, 1969, the university was created as a member entity of the Peruvian University System, with the legal personality of private law emerging from the act of its constitution, which would have as its headquarters the city of Lima, being recognized by paragraph 30 of article 97 of law no. 23733, formerly the "university law."[2]
In 2016, the institutional license was granted to the university, by virtue of the powers granted by Law No. 30220 (the "New University Law"), to offer the university higher educational service with the RCD N.º 040-2016-SUNEDU/CD, to provide this service at its headquarters located at Avenida Alfredo Benavides No. 5440, with a validity of 6 years as determined by the Board of Directors of the National Superintendency of University Higher Education (SUNEDU).[3]
The university's rector, Iván Rodríguez Chávez, died on December 30, 2023.[4]
