At Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, we believe
that it is crucial to prepare and inspire students
to become entrepreneurial leaders and highly
competitive professionals capable of facing the
challenges of today’s global world.
LETTER

FOUNDER
Entrepreneurship is the fundamental pillar of
our educational framework because it foments
creativity and business drive. Together with
our other institutional pillars—globalization,
development and social responsibility— it
prepares students to excel professionally and
become conscientious citizens of the world.
Our graduates generate and execute creative,
productive, technical and social proposals to
benefit the country and the world. We are proud
that our education provides our entrepreneurs
with a broad perspective of the world of business
based on solid ethical and moral values.
Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola continues
to grow and to provide the education that
professionals require in the new century. Our
outcomes-based education model, together
with a focus on mastering the English language,
prepares our graduates to thrive while building
their very own businesses or leading in the
corporate world.

LETTER FROM
THE PRESIDENT
USIL is Peru’s first bilingual university. We take
on the responsibility to shape entrepreneurial
leaders with a global vision, based on the
solid foundation provided by our Institutional
Pillars: Entrepreneurship, Social Responsibility,
Globalization and Development.
Globalization is one of the most significant
attributes of the USIL Educational Model,
enabling our students to have the capacity to
face the challenges imposed by the world of
today. Our curriculum includes program-specific
courses taught in English. Intensive teaching in
this language allows us to ensure the formation
of bilingual professionals who carry out research
projects, prepare cases and master a vocabulary
appropriate to the context that matches their
Academic Program, skills which guarantee their
professional success on an international scale. In
addition, we have over 180 strategic partnerships
with the top universities on all five continents.
In this regard, we have established Dual Degree
Programs with renowned academic institutions
and the exclusive Walt Disney World International,
which has enabled more than 1200 students to
do early professional work experience in the
United States.
Thus, Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola has
become an outstanding ambassador of Peruvian
academic culture in the world, an institution
which every year is host to hundreds of students
from abroad opening doors for students and the
world.

VISION
To be a leader in shaping talented and ethical professionals,
according to national and international standards.
INSTITUTIONAL
INFORMATION
MISSION
To shape competent entrepreneurial professionals who are
socially responsible and capable of performing successfully,
both domestically and internationally.
HISTORY
The Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, a private, for-profit
Peruvian university, was founded in 1995 by Mr. Raúl Diez
Canseco Terry, a well-known Peruvian business entrepreneur,
educator and political leader. Mr. Diez Canseco has a strong
commitment towards fostering education and providing
opportunities for young entrepreneurs.
He began his incursion into the education sector when he
founded the preparatory academy San Ignacio de Loyola,
in 1968, at the age of twenty. He followed this success with
Peru’s first institution of higher technological education,
in 1983, which became the country’s cornerstone of
technological education. He also opened a primary and
secondary-level school in 1990, considered one of the best
bilingual schools in the country.
In 1996, continuing on a trajectory of innovation in the
education sector, the university opened its Graduate
School, the first in Peru to offer a master’s degree in
Business Administration (MBA), a double degree created
through an international alliance.
In 2007, the organization successfully opened San Ignacio
College in Miami, Florida.
Since opening its doors, Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola
has offered educational programs with a high level of
excellence. Today, USIL has nearly 18,000 students enrolled
in different undergraduate and graduate programs.

EDUCATIONAL MODEL
Outcomes-Based Learning
The Outcomes-Based Learning Model takes into account
five principles for excellence in education:
• A student-centered learning process
• A track towards achieving competencies
• An integrated curriculum
• Teaching excellence
• A culture of evaluation and continuous improvement
In addition, through this model graduates are expected to
achieve the professional and general competencies within
the framework of the Institutional Mission.
BILINGUAL EDUCATION
USIL seeks to form bilingual entrepreneurs who know
how to read, write, conduct research and develop cases
in English, as well as dominate the technical vocabulary
associated with their career of choice. To achieve this, the
University has developed a curriculum that incorporates
an intensive English program as well as General Education
and Program courses taught in English. USIL graduates are
able to compete and do business, not only in Peru, but also
in the world.
EDUCATION IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
There is an education in business administration embedded
throughout all programs and majors. USIL equips each
student with the knowledge to build and manage a business
regardless of his or her field of study. This provides them
with strategic vision, and creates a more valued professional.
INSTITUTIONAL PILLARS
conscious of their responsibilities as citizens to overcome
inequality, combat extreme poverty and promote inclusivity.
GLOBALIZATION
Globalization embodies USIL’s commitment to developing
in students the ability to perform effectively and efficiently
anywhere in the world. Through more than a hundred
strategic alliances with academic institutions around the
world, a corporate presence in different countries, and a
bilingual curriculum, USIL offers its students a global vision
and the highest international standards.
DEVELOPMENT
Development reflects USIL’s commitment to contributing to
national development by providing students with a deeper
knowledge of local characteristics, a sense of belonging,
and pride in one’s own culture. This creates citizens who
are committed to their country’s progress, and who possess
a broad, holistic and informed vision of their national reality.
GENERAL COMPETENCIES
USIL has identified five key general competencies that are
fundamental in shaping professionals who are responsive
to the needs of a modern and globalized environment.
• Communication Skills
• Bilingual Communication
• Investigación
• Resource Management
• Human Development
These same general competencies are considered for USIL’s
undergraduate programs as well as for Undergraduate
Programs for Working Adults (CPEL).
USIL guides its educational activities on the basis of four
strategic pillars: Entrepreneurship, Social Responsibility,
Globalization and Development.
All five general competencies are linked to USIL’s mission to
shape competent professionals and entrepreneurs, who are
socially responsible and capable of performing successfully,
both domestically and internationally.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Entrepreneurship is at the heart of USIL’s institutional
philosophy. USIL cultivates an entrepreneurial culture and
spirit that promote innovation, leadership, competitiveness
and value creation, and allows students to identify and
make the most of business opportunities.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Social responsibility reflects USIL’s commitment to
contributing to the overall social development of Peru, as
well as to the well-being and improved quality of life of
people with lower incomes. The University puts solidarity
into action by implementing activities oriented towards
sustainable development and makes young people more
Communication skills make it possible for a person to
use diverse linguistic tools to carry out business. This is a
fundamental competency for learning and networking at
USIL.
BILINGUAL COMMUNICATION
Bilingual communication means mastering two
different languages (at USIL it signifies achieving
English language proficiency) so that students can
benefit from interacting with people from other
cultures.

DEGREE-GRANTING
AUTHORITY
According to Law No. 23733, University Act in force
for the creation of the Universidad San Ignacio de
Loyola, the National Council for Approval of Operation
of Universities (CONAFU) was an autonomous body
of the National Assembly of Presidents, who was
responsible for authorizing or denying operation of
Peruvian universities.
The process began with the
issuance of a provisional authorization after an ongoing
evaluation of at least five (5) years, allowed obtaining
final authorization operation.
The Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola obtained
provisional operational approval through Resolution No.
060-95-CONAFU, dated December 7th, 1995, which also
allowed the issuance of its first seven undergraduate
careers.
Later, after 5 years under the constant supervision of
the National Assembly of Presidents, USIL scored the
final operating permit pursuant with Resolution No.
159-2001-CONAFU, dated July 24th, 2001, which granted
full authority to offer recognized professional programs
and its university autonomy as established by the

PROGRAM
ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (PAC)
The role of Program Advisory Committees (PAC) is to
provide advice to the different Colleges, Programs and
Deanships of the University to assure an educational
proposition that can clearly ingrain in our students
the competencies, knowledge and abilities required at
the time of graduation, as well as the curriculum and
methodology to help in this process. At the same time,
the PAC contributes to the optimal cultural, academic
and pedagogical development of the institution, taking
into account the mission of USIL and the international
and national standards for quality in education.
The Program Advisory Committees are comprised of
five (5) to ten (10) advisors, who are nominated by the
corresponding Program Director and/or Dean and are
approved by Presidential Resolution. The members of
the PAC serve ad-honorem for a two-year term which is
renewed automatically.
Members of the PAC are professionals who represent
prestigious institutions or who have had an exemplary
independent professional trajectory. They belong to
different business sectors both in the public and private
arenas, they represent multiple perspectives, and
their roles and functions are in sync with those of the
programs they represent.
The PAC’s main function is to provide advice on
topics related to the curriculum, undergraduate
internships, employability, new faculty, pedagogical
and entrepreneurial aspects, and academic aspects
of a program. In addition they help promote social
responsibility and social projection in faculty as well as
students and graduates.

FACULTY
A key element in providing a quality education is the
role our faculty plays in students’ academic and personal
development. USIL ensures that faculty members possess
the appropriate competencies and academic degrees
to fulfill their role as educators. Teachers must meet the
minimum teaching credential requirements of having a
Master’s or Doctorate Degree in the field of the course
to be taught, or have acquired substantial professional
experience in the specific field.
Faculty must have ample dominion over their material
and must apply diverse methodological and evaluative
strategies that advance the formative process. This assures
a stimulating learning environment that boosts students’
confidence and motivates them to live experiences inside
and outside the classroom that will help them achieve
competencies in their personal, professional and social life.
Please refer to Annex Full-Time Faculty of this catalog for a
complete list of full-time faculty.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
1 The instructor is entitled to full freedom in research and
in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate
performance of his or her other academic duties; but
research for pecuniary return should be based upon an
understanding with the authorities of the institution.
2 The instructor is entitled to freedom in the classroom in
discussing his or her subject, but he or she should be
careful not to introduce into ones teaching controversial
matter, which has no relation to the subject. Limitations
of academic freedom because of religious or other aims
of the institution should be clearly stated in writing at
the time of the appointment.
3 The college or university instructor is a citizen, a member
of a learned profession, and an officer of an educational
institution. When he or she speaks or writes as a citizen,
one should be free from institutional censorship or
discipline, but his or her special position in the community
imposes special obligations. As a man or woman of
learning and an educational officer, one should remember
that the public may judge his or her profession and his
or her institution by ones utterances. Hence one should
at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate
restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others,
and should make every effort to indicate that he or she is
not an institutional spokesperson.

known for the impressive city of stone built in the Peruvian
Andes, called Machu Picchu, which has been proclaimed
one of the Seven New Wonders of the World.
It is inside this magical city, which also is visited by
multitudes of tourists attracted by its exciting night life and
delicious cuisine, USIL opened the Cusco Learning Center
building of over 500 m2 to offer a master’s degree program.
In addition, it offers specialized programs for international
students.

opportunity to study relevant courses while also learning
the historic traditions and legacy of the Imperial City.

AREQUIPA LEARNING CENTER
Arequipa is the second most populated city in Peru. It
is located in the southern region of Peru in the Andes
Mountain Range and surrounded by majestic volcanoes,
the most famous among them being “El Misti”. Situated
at an altitude of approximately 2335 m.a.s.l. Arequipa is
endowed with many structures dating back to the Spanish
Colonial period that are built with “sillar”, a white volcanic
stone, which is the reason why the city is referred to as “The
White City”.
Arequipa is a large commercial hub in the southern region
of Peru and as such it needs academic programs that
support and foster growth. In response to the needs of this
market, USIL recently inaugurated the Arequipa Learning
Center with a 130m2 structure that houses two modern
classrooms for students in graduate programs and other
studies.

INTERNATIONAL
Globalization is one of the strategic pillars which guide
the academic philosophy of Universidad San Ignacio de
Loyola. For this reason, those of our students who are
pursuing a Bachelors Degree are required to complete
at least one study abroad experience, of a minimum
duration of two weeks over the course of their studies.
To make this possible, the Vice President of International
Relations has developed ties with institutions that enable
our students to participate in international experiences
that give them a global profile. In the area of academic
exchange, Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola currently
has over 181 partnerships in over 30 countries around the
world which opens a whole universe of opportunities for
professional and academic development abroad. Our
students can read more detailed information about these
partnerships in the 2014 Guide to Global Partnerships
for USIL Students.
Moreover, job programs provide our students with
the opportunity to develop their personal and job
skills, obtaining valuable undergraduate experience in
international companies as important as the Walt Disney
Corporation.
This international experience enables students to live
in a different environmental setting and learn about
other cultures, improve their foreign language skills,
increase their network of contacts, acquire professional
experience and fulfill the requisite for graduation
established by Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola.

modules.
STUDENT INDUCTION PROGRAM
The Induction Program to the USIL Competency
Based Education Model is a set of activities directed
at incoming freshmen students to provide them with
information about academic and administrative aspects
and to promote a commitment on the part of students
in their new role, so that they quickly and properly
integrate themselves to the university context to thus
ensure an autonomous and satisfactory academic
performance.
General Objectives:
• Introduce the “USIL Competency Based Education
Model” to incoming freshmen and their parents.
• Introduce students to university life through individual
and group activities, fostering a commitment to their
own performance, autonomy in the learning process
and adaptation to university life.
• Evaluate the capacities, skills and attitudes of
incoming freshmen students in order to generate

and apply lines of action which promote their
development.
ATTENDANCE
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Attendance requirements for theory and practice
classes, laboratory sessions and workshops are stated
on each course syllabus. Attendance is mandatory for
regularly scheduled theory, practice and laboratory
classes, as well as workshops.
Students may check their attendance records
regularly on the institutional platform. In the event of
a discrepancy, a student has three work days after the
absence is recorded to request a correction.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS FOR WORKING
ADULTS (CPEL)
Attendance to lectures, applied theory classes,
laboratories and workshops that form part of the regular
course schedule is mandatory.
Student attendance to online courses is justified by the
completion of course assignments given. Scheduled
classes are taught on the dates and at the times posted
on the regular schedule. If for any reason, the scheduled
class cannot be held at the scheduled time, the teacher
is solely responsible for rescheduling the class or
substituting it with online study activities, subject to
agreement with the students and the approval of the
Office of Academic Coordination for the course. A
rescheduled class must not include exams or record
student attendance.
Students who accumulate thirty percent (30%) or
more of class absences as a ratio of the total number
of course hours, is barred from taking the final exam
or its equivalent, which is defined by the office of
Academic Coordination for such course and applying
a grade of zero (0). In the English courses, students
who accumulate 20% or more absences as a ratio of
the total number of course hours are prohibited from
taking the final exam. Other courses which by their very
nature require a lower percentage, must state this in
their syllabuses, subject to prior authorization from the
Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
No excuses for absence are accepted. Students must
review their attendance record on an ongoing basis in
INFOSIL. In the event a discrepancy is found, students
have a maximum of 72 hours from the date of input in
INFOSIL to request its review.
DEFINITION OF A UNIT OF CREDIT
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE

GRADING SYSTEM AND GRADING
EQUIVALENCIES
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
The grading system for all courses is a twenty-point system.
The minimum passing grade is 11. Grades for all individual
and group evaluations are stated in whole numbers.
Fractions greater than or equal to 0.5 are rounded up to the
next higher integer, to the student’s benefit, while numbers
with decimal places lower than 0.5 are rounded down.
Similarly, the categories of the evaluation system (the
average of continuous assessment, the midterm exam,
the final exam and the final course grade) are rounded
to whole numbers. Fractions greater than or equal to 0.5
are rounded up to the next higher integer, to the student’s
benefit, while numbers with decimal places lower than 0.5
are rounded down.
The final grade for a course is the weighted average of
the continuous assessment, midterm exam and final exam
categories.
ACADEMIC CATALOG 2015
65
A student’s weighted cumulative grade point average is
obtained by adding the products of the final grade for
each course (passing and failing) and the corresponding
number of credits, and then dividing that number by the
sum of the credits for the courses taken over the course
of the student’s studies in his or her academic program,
including courses taking during the summer. Weighted
cumulative averages are rounded to two decimal places.
In the case of an internal transfer, the student’s
applicable weighted cumulative grade point average
includes only final (passing and failing) grades obtained
for the courses transferred and those taken following
the change of major.
A student’s weighted semester grade point average is
obtained by adding the products of the final (passing
and failing) grade for each course taken during a given
semester and the corresponding number of credits, and
then dividing that number by the sum of the credits
for the courses taken during the semester. Weighted
semester averages are rounded to two decimal places.
A semester grade lower than 10.5 is considered a failing
grade.

STUDENT ASSESSMENTS
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
The evaluation of learning is a continuous, systematic,
participative, flexible pedagogical process which is
part of the teaching/learning process. It fulfills two
functions, pedagogical and social, and has two aims,
educational and informative.
The evaluation system is defined in the syllabus for
each course, in which evaluations and their percentage
of the weighted average for the course are listed.
Continuous assessment consists of tests, quizzes on
reading assignments, projects, written assignments,
presentations, etc. that may be individual or group
work. This is not an all inclusive list; nor is it intended to
exclude other types of evaluation. The calculation of the
Continuous Assessment grade is shown in detail in the
syllabus for each course.
The
Similarly, the categories within the system of evaluation
(average quiz and continuous assessment grade, average
midterm exam grade, average final exam grade and the
final course grade) are rounded to whole numbers. All
grades with a decimal fraction greater than or equal to
0.5 will be rounded up to the next higher whole number
ACADEMIC CATALOG 2015
RECORDING OF GRADES
As an exception, the evaluation system may be modified
according to the nature of the course.
All individual or group assessment grades are rounded
to whole integers. Thus, a grade with a decimal fraction
greater than or equal to 0.5 will be rounded up to the
next higher whole number; and grades with a decimal
fraction of less than 0.5 are rounded down to the next
lower whole number.
66
The final course grade is the weighted average of the
quiz and continuous assessment grades and final exam.
Evaluation categories include:
a. Continuous assessment.
b. Midterm exam.
c. Final exam.

to the student’s benefit; and grades with a decimal
fraction of less than 0.5 are rounded down to the next
lower whole number.
The schedule for midterm and final exams is published
on the institutional platform, stating the date, time and
place each exam will be held.
Midterm and final exam weeks are part of the academic
period.
A student who fails to take any of the evaluations
included in the Continuous Assessment grade may
make up only one of them, provided that the possibility
of a make-up is indicated in the syllabus.
The Academic Calendar indicates the deadline for
requesting a make-up evaluation, the payment date
for the make-up fee and the date on which make-up
evaluations will be given. A make-up evaluation covers
all of the topics included in the syllabus for the course
and replaces the evaluation not taken.
A student who fails to take a mid-term or final exam on
the date indicated on the Academic Calendar may take
a make-up exam. The grade on the make-up exam will
replace the grade for the exam not taken. Students have
a period of 2 (two) calendar days starting on the day
following their absence to request a make-up exam via
the institutional platform and make the corresponding
payment.
Evaluations take place in a face-to-face manner on the
university campus or at sites authorized for the purpose
by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Students will be notified in advance if the venue is
not where the class usually meets. Virtual Campus
evaluations are an exception.
Mid-term and final exams for e-learning courses take
place in a face-to-face manner at locations established
by the university.
Academic Services and Records is responsible for
administering midterm, final and make-up exams.
Course instructors turn grades in to Academic Services
and Records in physical or electronic records. Academic
Services and Records manages evaluation records for
the courses scheduled for the semester.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS FOR WORKING
ADULTS (CPEL)
The assessment system is adapted to the University´s
educational model. Student assessments are continuous
throughout the academic period.
The assessment system is defined in the syllabus
of each course which explains the assessments and
percentage assigned to the weighted average grade for
the course. The categories of the assessment system
are as follows:
GRADING APPEALS PROCEDURES
Standard Undergraduate Programs and
Undergraduate Programs for Working
Adults (CPEL)
The following procedures must be followed when
requesting the review or reconsideration of grades:
For Continuous Assessment (quizzes,
controls, laboratories, etc.) and Mid Term
Exams:
Complete application form F-405 (Grade Review and
Reconsideration) at the time the assessment is returned to
you by the teacher. Students may formally process their
review and reconsideration, with valid supporting arguments,
only on the date and at the times scheduled. This procedure
must be completed without leaving the classroom. In the
event the request is approved, the teacher shall request the
relevant correction. The response given by this process of
grade reconsideration is not subject to appeal.
FOR FINAL EXAMS:
Once final exams and final make-up exams are completed,
the Office of Academic Services schedules the return of
same using a Return Roll Call Schedule. Students may
only formally process its review and reconsideration on
the date and time provided, in the event that there are
justifiable reasons, by completing the Grade Review and
Reconsideration application form (F-405) provided by
those responsible for exam returns, within the classroom
and with valid justification. This form must be filled
out and include the proper justification to allow those
responsible to arrive at a decision.
1. Continuous Assessment
2. Final Exam
Course Load
As an exception, the assessment system may be
modified to adapt to the nature of a particular course.
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Continuous evaluation consists of quizzes, reading
control quizzes, projects, study activities, presentations,
etc which can be performed as an individual or in
groups. This is not an exhaustive or exclusive list of
all the other types of assessment. The calculation of
the continuous assessment is explained in the course
syllabus.
In the event that the assessment system includes the
elimination of the lowest grade, any zero (0) grade
handed out as a result of voiding the student’s test due
to any restriction is excluded from such elimination.
The maximum number of eligible credits for enrollment
is determined by the academic performance of students
in their academic program, taking only the grade point
average of the most recent completed regular academic
semester into account. The eligible credit enrollment
ranges are shown below according to the students’
Academic Record, as published on INFOSIL:
i. 1st Enrollment Range, maximum:
25 credits
ii. 2nd Enrollment Range maximum:
22 credits
iii. 3rd Enrollment Range maximum:
21 credits
iv. 4to Enrollment Range maximum:

Curriculum, who may enroll in a maximum of 20 credits
according to their curriculum.
Starting in Semester 2013 - II, in the event of a discrepancy
between this statement and Article 61 of the Academic
Regulations, the following shall take priority.
Students who enroll in fewer than thirteen (13) credits
must undergo the relevant process in the Office of
Credit and Collections.
To be eligible to enroll in a course the student must have
passed the pre requisite courses and/or the minimum
number of credits required for same.
The student who fails a course must take the same

second time he or she must take it again the following
semester.
Up until Semester I - 2013, students who enroll in a
mandatory course for the third time are permitted
to enroll only in a maximum of sixteen (16) academic
credits. As of Semester II - 2013, in this same case, the
maximum number of credits permitted shall be twelve
(12), as provided under Title III of these regulations.
Enrollment in more than two courses that are being
taken for the third time in the same semester is not
permitted.
Students are not allowed to enroll in courses with have
schedules that coincide.
To be eligible to participate in exchange programs,
students must have passed at least sixty (60) academic
credits in addition to the Global Leadership Skills
workshop course.
Undergraduate Programs for Working
Adults (CPEL)
Enrollment is carried out in each academic period and
is subject to the conditions set forth under Article 18 of
the CPEL Academic Regulations, except for restrictions
established in Title III, Satisfactory Academic Progress –
PAS in the same document.
General Education
General Education at USIL consists of four principal
areas which favor the intellectual development and
future professional performance of the students: Natural
Science and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences,
Humanities and Fine Arts, and a unique grouping of USIL
Mission-Related courses which are designed to help
students perform both nationally and internationally.
The General Education component requires more than
30 hours per semester for bachelor programs. Each
68
ACADEMIC CATALOG 2015
program requires completion of a minimum of 48
credits in General Education, designed to strengthen the
personal and academic competencies of the students,
without focusing on specific professional areas of study.
As such, the number of General Education courses by
program is significant at USIL and all programs include
courses in the four areas of knowledge.
USIL’s General Education courses also contribute to the
development of five general competencies in students:
Communication Skills, Critical Thinking, Resource
Management, Bilingual Communication and Human
Development. Development of these competencies
is fundamental in shaping professionals who are
enterprising, socially responsible, and responsive to the
needs of our modern globalized environment.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Satisfactory academic progress is assessed each
semester by validating levels of compliance with the
following standards:
1. Semester grade point average (PPP).
2. Passing grades in courses passed.
3. Total number credits studied during the student’s
stay at the University.
Academic progress is found to be satisfactory if the
student:
1. Obtains a grade point average for the academic
period (PPP) greater than or equal to 10.5
2. Passes 100% of the courses in which the student is
enrolled
3. Studies a maximum of 1.5 times the total number of
credits of the academic program during the student’s
stay at the University.
Every semester, the system for following up on
academic progress calculates weighted semester grade
point averages and the number of consecutive times a
student has had an unsatisfactory grade point average
(under 10.5), in order to contribute to the analysis of
academic progress.
Evaluation of Academic Progress
If a student meets the standards set forth in Satisfactory
academic progress in a given semester, he/she will have
a satisfactory status. In the event that a student fails to
meet one or more of these standards, he/she is placed
on academic probation, and his/her status is recorded
in the academic system. A student is taken off academic
probation when he/she remedies the cause for this status.
Satisfactory status qualifies a student to take the
maximum number of credits allowed per semester,
according to the curriculum for his/her program.
Additionally, students are ranked in the following
percentiles:
a) Top fifth percentile.
b) Top third percentile.
c) Top half percentile.
A student is placed on academic probation if he/she:
a) Has to take one or more courses for a third time
b) Has a failing weighted semester grade point average
c) Has exceeded the limit of 1.5 the total number of
credits for the program.
grade for the third time in the first module. Withdrawal
from a semester voids all credits approved during the
semester and the course taken counter will return to as
it was prior to the start of the semester from which the
student is withdrawing.
The university informs the student of his/her academic
probation status and establishes the intervention
required to assist him/her with his/her academic
performance.
Students may choose to withdraw from a module during
their stay at the University and in the semester in which
it was requested. The courses from which a student
withdraws in that module can no longer form part of a
subsequent course withdrawal. For justifiable reasons,
the Vice President of Academic Affairs may authorize a
second withdrawal from a module.
During regular terms, students may register for up to
twenty academic credits. When a student is on academic
probation, he/she must register for a lower number
of credits. If the student’s academic performance is
satisfactory, he/she may register for a larger number of
credits.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Course Withdrawal: Students may withdraw from one
or more courses each semester over the course of
their studies at the university, following the established
procedures.
Withdrawing from a course only has academic effects
and does not exempt a student from paying previously
incurred debts. Students may only withdraw from courses
until the deadline indicated on the Academic Calendar
Withdrawal from a Semester: Students may withdraw
from the semester in which they are enrolled until the
deadline indicated on the academic calendar. A student
may withdraw from a semester only once over the course
of his or her studies at the university. Withdrawal from a
semester has academic and economic effects. The dean
of the college may authorize a second withdrawal from
a semester for a justifiable cause
Undergraduate Programs for Working
Adults (CPEL)
Students may withdraw from only one course per
module and a maximum of one time from the same
course during their stay at the University, by following
the formal procedures indicated in INFOSIL.
Course withdrawal is permitted only up until the date
indicated on the academic calendar.
Students may withdraw from a semester or a module.
Applications for these withdrawals are accepted only up
until the deadlines indicated on the academic calendar.
In the case of withdrawal from a semester, this action
is allowed only once during the student’s stay at the
University. For justifiable reasons, the Vice President
of Academic Affairs may authorize a second semester
withdrawal. This withdrawal may be requested, provided
that the student does not have a course with a failing
Students can permanently withdraw from the University
within the deadlines indicated on the academic
calendar. A permanent withdrawal enters into effect as
of the date the request is submitted. If the application
for withdrawal is submitted outside of the established
deadline, it shall formally take effect the following
academic semester.
The student who fails a course for the third time will
be separated from the academic program, and may be
eligible to join another academic program, provided
that the failed course is not a mandatory course in the
curriculum of the new academic program. Under these
conditions, the internal transfer can be carried out only
once during the student’s stay at the University and
is subject to the approval of the receiving Academic
Program Director.
Students who are taking courses in a given academic
program of the University can transfer to another
academic program by following the established
procedures for an internal transfer.
Course repeat policy
STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
A course must be repeated when a student has failed a
course and is still eligible for future enrollment. Students
who fail a course must take it again within the next two
semesters in which it is offered. If the student fails it a
second time, he or she must take it again the following
semester.
Up Semester 2013 – I the student who enrolls in a
mandatory course for the third time may only enroll in
a maximum of 16 academic credits. As of Semester II 2013, in this case the maximum number shall be eight
(08) credits. In addition, enrollment in more than two
courses for the third time in the same semester is not
permitted.

that has grown into opportunities through the work and
efforts of all its inhabitants. Visual communicators are
now more than a multimedia designer or an expert in
photography, they are agents of change, supported by
their knowledge of other disciplines and contributes to
the construction of a more righteous and responsible
society.

societies and whose consideration is imperative in any
project that is undertaken.

UNDERGRADUATE
PROGRAMS
Companies value knowledge today more so than in the past.
An outstanding professional trajectory, without a good
University education, no longer assures a successful career.
As such, USIL has created part-time programs for working
professionals who want to strengthen and complement the
skills learned through their work experience with a solid
University education.
FOR WORKING ADULTS
(CPEL)
The programs target working professionals with at least
four years of work experience and who are at least 24 years
old. The curricula can accommodate those with previous
technical or University experience, and those without.
The school year is made up of three 14-week trimesters
when students take classes twice or three times a week
in the evenings or on weekends. These are accelerated
programs, so participating students can obtain their
bachelor’s degree in less than three years, depending on
how many credits are transferred upon admission

PSI6105 - Episthemology and Theory of Science
This theory and practical course contributes to the
four general competencies of General Education,
placing emphasis on critical as well as argumentative
skills for the purpose of developing systematic criteria
for differentiating science from pseudo-science. The
philosophy of science in the Ancient era was aimed at
representing reality as it supposedly was in itself, while
the philosophy of science in the Modern era was aimed
at representing reality subjectivity. However, in the
Contemporary era of the mid twentieth century, there was
a historical and instrumental turnaround, due to which
there was no longer interest in asking whether science
represents reality itself (the question from the Ancient
era) or if science only represents reality according
to subjectivity (the question from the Modern era).
Currently, interest is centered on the instrumentalism
by which criteria for determining when a theory is more
explicative than another are established. The course
presents contemporary philosophical reflections on
science. Four proposals on science will be presented
according to which: first, reality comprises regularities
prior to the orderly intervention of theories (ontology);
second, nomological and refutable explanations are the
only valid ones (methodological); third, prediction of the
future makes scientific knowledge in development power
(instrumentalism); and fourth, science is distinguished
from pseudo-science (demarcation). For this purpose,
the criteria of logical positivism, critical rationalism,
historical turnaround and instrumentalism are compared

DER5220 - Arbitration
The profound changes that the country’s economic
254 ACADEMIC CATALOG 2015
system has experienced in recent years, a product of
emerging open markets, growing international trade, the
signing of integration treaties and Peru’s participation
in multilateral agencies, has caused our legal economic
relations to become more international in scope and in
this manner, the country, its companies and consumers
become members of a “global village”. Within this
context, the development of today’s commerce, where
thousands of contracts and all types of transactions
are executed every day, often involving counterparts
from different nationalities and languages, needs for
the disputes that arise be resolved through a dynamic,
swift, specialized and neutral mechanism which ensures
protection for both parties. Arbitration is one of these
mechanisms because its flexible design based on
the will of the parties, enables them to come to prior
agreement on the rules and the mechanism used to
appoint the arbitrators that will enable the resolution of
those disputes that may arise. For this reason, it is no
coincidence that legislation associated with arbitration
has been on the rise for just the past decade and that
the promotion and use of arbitration has also become
institutionally more intense over the past few years. We
dare to think that the modern world needs arbitration as
if it was “capital” for justice. For developing countries
such as ours, this is an irrefutable truth, and thus rejecting
it, remaining ignorant about it can only cause us to “miss
the train” in terms of time and progress. In that order of
ideas, it is essential for legal professionals to study and
analyze this basic conflict management tool, particularly
when the government justice system has demonstrated
countless failures in the settlement of disputes.

Prerequisite: Managerial Analysis of Financial Information
This course is designed to train and educate the new
generation of marketing managers to be effective
in an information technology intensive environment.
Marketing managers must make on-the-spot decisions
on characteristics such as products, prices, distribution
channels, compensation plans, etc. In order to do
so, they must choose courses of action in a changing
environment. A typical approach to decision making
is to develop a mental model of the situation that
combines facts with intuition, reasoning and experience.
These models can lead to systematic errors derived
from psychological factors. An alternative approach is to
create a spreadsheet with all the variables and scenarios
prior to decision making. Therefore, computer-assisted
models for marketing decision making are used in the
course. This is not a matter of replacing conceptual
marketing, but rather complementing it.

The digital revolution is changing the ways in which
human beings relate, communicate, learn and, of course,
buy. On the other hand, advances in neuroscience are
allowing us to understand how our brain processes
information that then will be translated into action. The
decision to buy is one of the many daily decisions that
we human beings have to take. If marketers understand
what factors influence these decisions, they will have a
tool that will allow them to anticipate the needs of its
customers, understand how they think and feel, create
products and increasingly personalize designs, retain
current customers and attract new, using new distribution
channels and new languages and codes. In other words,
it will enable better design marketing plans that drive

Business and training programs focus primarily on
Business to Customer marketing (B2C), to the detriment
of Business to Business marketing (B2B). In the B2C

in the B2B process, the buyer is a professional and
generally makes purchases with a more rational focus on
generating value. Turnover in this area is growing every

The strategies for commercial distribution bring products
and services closer to the customer. The verbs “bring”
and “take” may be confused by simple association
to transport, especially when traditional distribution
channels are presented as they approach the bridge of
supply and demand. Distribution strategies require a
vision and the constant search for value propositions,
because the distribution channels are not really bridges
but complex contact structures where dynamically
involved social, economic and political background.
Approximately 50% of the value of a product on the
market is explained by its distribution channels and
unlike production costs decrease each day; distribution
presented in the recent years worldwide growing
trends: increased consumer demand; governmental
requirements; fuel costs; are among these. Without
neglecting traditional challenges of distribution
strategies such as positioning control, communication
and brand image; and perceived prices also pose a
challenge in the development of channel strategies.
The course offers the development of a strategic vision
of the dynamic nature of the intermediaries and tools
for evaluating and developing commercial distribution
strategy to achieve business objectives.

MKA5128 - Price Policy
The price is one of the four famous “P” of the marketing
mix since 1960 and is present in marketing theory, but
has always maintained a low profile. Much has been
innovated in the other “Ps” forgetting that the price
is the only variable that directly impacts on company
profits. Defining the price of products or services is one
of the more complicated functions to be performed by
the marketer. Sometimes we fall into the temptation
of believing that there is a “magic bullet” and inertia;
observed costs, we try to add a “decent” margin, sideways
look at the competition and finally ventured to set the
ACADEMIC CATALOG 2015 305
price. Most times, we forget to look at the person or
company that is the other side: our customer. Speaking
of pricing, is in itself a novelty, which is necessary given
the changes experienced by the market and especially
for the new challenges that arise every day. Companies
are facing a new era of pricing, which is being shaped
by new strategic approaches and human behavior, using
various software applications, science (mathematics,
statistics, etc.); and rapid experimentation.

credits of the academic program during the student’s
stay at the USIL Graduate School
The grade point average for the semester (PPP) is the
weighted average of all courses having a final grade,
passing or failing, taken during a given semester.
A completed credit is that which has been obtained by
taking a course in which the student has enrolled and
received a final grade, passing or failing. Withdrawal
from a course and/or withdrawal from a semester do
not lead to a completed credit.
In the case of incoming students through outside
transfer, the maximum number of credits that a
student can study is adjusted in each case according
to the number of credits which have been validated
and recognized. The maximum number of credits that
a student can take is equal to 1.5 times the difference
between the total credits from the academic program
and the validated credits.
In the case of internal transfers, the credits studied
corresponding to the validated courses shall be
considered within the maximum of 1.5 times the total
number of credits in the program. Moreover, common
courses in each academic program shall consider
courses taken in the event that any of them was not
validated due to a failing grade.
Recording of grades
Grade reports include three assessment criteria: class
participation, quizzes based on readings, and final
exam. Teachers may add other activities to the course
assessment and calculate the average based on the
assessment criteria described in the course syllabus.
Grade reports will be delivered to the Office of Academic
Services and Records in physical form and signed by the
teacher.
The final course grade is the average of the three criteria
of assessment, which may apply different weights,
but added together equals one hundred percent. The
weighted percentage assigned to class participation

Master in Education with a concentration in Teaching Early
Childhood Education
Program Description
Primary education occupies a unique space in the
education system, in that the first year of life and infancy
constitute the hub in the establishment of an individual
as a person.
It is in this stage that the foundations of human
development are laid. This results in the importance
of promoting - based on the co-responsibility of
educational agents - education, care, protection, and
comprehensive attention, vouching for the guarantee
and restoration of children’s rights, while recognizing
domestic and international agencies and organizations.
Given this imperative, the Master’s in Didactics in
the Teaching of Early Education entails not only
the fulfillment of one of the university’s inalienable
responsibilities - addressing the needs of professionals
- but also fostering and encouraging the application
of advanced knowledge in primary education, both
theoretical and practical, to solving problems that arise
in the sphere of primary education.

Master in Education with a concentration in Competencebased Learning Assessment
Program Description
The quality of education is a problem present at every
level of the educational system both domestically and
internationally, becoming a challenge for academic
institutions from the earliest stages of learning all the
way to higher education and continuous education.
One of the main aspects associated with the poor
levels of quality education is related to student learning
outcomes, which are becoming more visible and can be
better developed when a school adopts a competency
based education model. Therefore, in order to achieve
quality learning outcomes, it becomes essential to have
a complete understanding of this curricular approach,
because it enables academic institutions and educators
to prepare learning processes and units in accordance
with performance standards and criteria derived from
the demonstration of the expected learning outcomes.
Therefore, competency based education is a fundamental
tool that enables us to establish clear and effective
educational objectives and strategies by defining the
standards that the student graduating from a given level
or program should exhibit.
In this context, the competency based curricular method
serves to introduce a rationale to the outcomes and
processes, but it also emphasizes the needs of actors
in society and the environmental setting above the
interests of teachers and researchers or administrators.
The Masters Degree in Competency Based Assessment
is an academic program that seeks to prepare experts
and specialists in development, design, analysis,
implementation, validation and improvements of
competency based educational solutions at the different
levels of the academic and professional formation
systems, within a framework of educating individuals
over the course of their entire lives and careers.
