## History and Purpuse

### History

It was created in Lima by the Congregation of Religious of the Sacred Heart (present in education in Peru since 1876) and authorized by Supreme Decree 71 of December 24, 1962, given under the government of the Military Junta presided over by the general Ricardo Pérez Godoy. Its peculiarity was that it was destined only for women.[1]

The Graduate School was created in 1971, initiating its academic activities with the programs of doctorate and masters in Education. The master's degree in Psychology and Philosophy were created in 1988, and the doctorate in Psychology in 1994. Subsequently, created the master's degree in Civil Law and Nutrition and Dietetics.

### Purpose

In addition to the general aims of every university, its purpose is to give to the female youth a more integral formation, not only academic and scientific, but humanistic and ethical, under Christian and Catholic inspiration, which leads it to project towards the achievement of a Society more just, supportive and inclusive. In that sense, UNIFÉ continues one of the objectives of the Congregation: "To emphasize the formation of multipliers and leaders who are agents of social transformation"
