What Universidad Antonio Ruiz de Montoya does

Universidad Antonio Ruiz de Montoya (UARM) is a private Jesuit university operating from a single campus at Av. Paso de los Andes 970, Pueblo Libre, Lima, Peru. It delivers higher-education programs structured across three faculties — Filosofía, Educación y Ciencias Humanas; Ciencias Sociales; and Ingeniería y Gestión — offering twelve undergraduate degrees, two master's programs (Bioética; Neurociencia y Educación), multiple graduate diplomas, a doctorate in Social and Humanistic Studies, and continuing-education offerings through a Centro de Idiomas. The institution sustains the Ignatian pedagogical tradition through an integrated Sistema de Tutorías and a student formation model built around four competencies (competent, conscious, committed, compassionate), and it is a member of the International Association of Jesuit Universities (IAJU, ~200 members) and AUSJAL.

Its technology stack is delivered through three core digital platforms: a Moodle-based Aula Virtual (separate instances for pregrado/posgrado at aulavirtual.uarm.edu.pe and formación continua at virtual.uarm.edu.pe) with Microsoft 365 SSO and a mobile app; a DSpace-based Repositorio Institucional (repositorio.uarm.edu.pe) integrated with national research networks ALICIA/CONCYTEC and La Referencia for open-access dissemination; and a Mesa de Partes Virtual for administrative document handling. Supporting units include the Library, CINDE (innovation/business development) and CIEM (market research) centers under the engineering faculty, and a Bolsa de Trabajo for graduate placement.

UARM's revenue model is tuition-centric: recurring fees from undergraduate and graduate programs (pricing not publicly disclosed, quote-based via admission inquiry forms) supplemented by administrative handling of multiple scholarship streams including PRONABEC Beca 18, Fe y Alegría scholarships (UARM, Marzal, Nancy Maguire variants), partial and sibling scholarships, athlete scholarships, and Beca Orfandad Ley 23585. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer student recruitment through the institutional website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X), events, and feeder-school partnerships — most notably the Fe y Alegría Jesuit school network and PRONABEC — with no disclosed parent company, external shareholders, or acquisition activity. The institution is led by Rector Rafael Fernández Hart, SJ, and operates with a 251–500 employee base.
