The Universidad Nacional del Altiplano de Puno (UNAP, English: 'National University of the Altiplano of Puno') is a public university located in the city of Puno, Peru.

Founded in 1856, it was one of the first public universities founded within the Department of Puno. Initially, it was created as a training school for the aristocracy. Today, UNAP has 37 professional schools which are organized into 20 faculties.

History

Through an act of 29 August 1856,[1] president Ramón Castilla founded the Universidad de Puno. Although the act founding the university was passed in 1856, the date which it officially opened is subject to debate. There are claims that the institution opened on 1 March 1858, while other believe it opened 1 May 1859.

On 6 December 1860, the government of Puno designated San Carlos Borromeo as the patron saint of the university. The university was then referred to as Universidad de San Carlos de Puno, adopting the honorific name of the nearby Glorioso Colegio Nacional de San Carlos. In the early 20th century a senator from Puno, Enrique Torres Belón, pointed out that legally the "Universidad de San Carlos de Puno" does not exist as the institution has been referred to by other names in official documents, however, this claim has been refuted by other scholars and academic officials. This original institution, however, closed in 1866 due to socio-political and economic problems. It was not recorded on the National Regulation of Public Instruction of 1876.

The name of the university underwent several subsequent name changes. In 1961 it was named the Universidad Nacional Técnica del Altiplano (UNTA, English: 'National Technical University of the Altiplano'), by Law No. 13516. In 1983, it became the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano (UNA), by Law No. 23733. Finally, in 2014 it became known as the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano de Puno (UNAP), by Law No. 30220.

On 30 December 2017, the resolution of the board of directors N° 101-2017-SUNEDU / CD was instituted, through which the National Superintendency of University Education (Spanish: Superintendencia Nacional de Educación Superior Universitaria) granted the university its institutional license.[2]
