Universidad Continental Posgrado

What Universidad Continental Posgrado does

Universidad Continental Posgrado (Escuela de Posgrado de la Universidad Continental, EPG) is the graduate-school division of Universidad Continental S.A.C., a private Peruvian university founded in 2000 and headquartered in Lima with its main campus in Huancayo. The unit delivers postgraduate education — including doctorados, maestrías, segundas especialidades, diplomados, programas de especialización, and cursos — organized across nine knowledge areas (Derecho, Educación, Gestión Empresarial, Gestión Humana, Gestión Pública, Ingeniería, Innovación Digital, Psicología, Salud) via in-person, semi-presential, and distance modalities through seven Peruvian campuses (Huancayo, Cusco, Arequipa, Lima-Los Olivos, Lima-Miraflores, Ica, Ayacucho) and dedicated virtual platforms (aulavirtualepg, uvirtual).

The underlying technology stack centers on a dedicated learning management system (aulavirtualepg.continental.edu.pe), a student portal (estudiantespc.continental.edu.pe), and a ticket-based CAS support system. Programs are differentiated by international accreditations — ACBSP for the Master's in Public Management and Sello Sofía (the only Peruvian university to hold it) — and by a partnership with Continental Florida University that issues an additional US-based Diplomado en Gestión Pública inside the flagship master's.

The business model is B2C/B2B tuition-based: prospective students enroll via a contact center (955 125 198), WhatsApp, CAS ticketing, or dedicated program advisors, with revenue earned from program fees (pricing not publicly disclosed), supplemented by scholarships for top-ranked alumni. The institution reports 117,000+ cumulative students trained and 80+ editions of its master's programs, and runs marketing through its institutional website, blog, social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), webinars, and flagship events such as Posgrados Fest UC. Primary customers are government officials and public-sector professionals, with secondary segments in healthcare, education, legal, and psychology verticals.
