The decision to create the University of Lima was made in the early 1960s by a group of university professors, along with commerce and industry representatives gathered in the Civil Association PRODIES (Promotion of Industrial Development through Higher Education). It was after two years of effort that they managed to start it. It officially started operating on 25 April 1962.

Due to the university's quick growth, the campus in the Monterrico area of Surco was inaugurated to serve the university's space needs.[2]
