Over the past 26 years, Universidad Norbert Wiener (UNW) has cultivated a reputation as a higher education leader in Peru. In 2000, UNW became the first institution in the country and in Latin America to obtain ISO 9001 certification, which was followed by the accreditations of all its health and law majors through the institutional licensing by SUNEDU, its entry into the MERCO Talent (top 15), América Economía (top 15), and research rankings such as SCOPUS (top 21). In joining the ASU-Cintana Alliance, UNW will build on recent achievements, including the launch of the Biocentro Research Center in the Amazon and taking first place in the registration of invention patents in Peru – to provide new opportunities for students to access the education and skills needed to be competitive in a global environment.
