A New Bridge Between Peruvian Technical Education and U.S. University Degrees
In a significant development for higher education in Latin America, Blackwell Global University (BGU), a U.S.-based online university, has entered into a strategic academic agreement with Instituto de la Empresa (IEmpresa), a private technical higher education institution in Peru. This partnership creates a seamless academic pathway for IEmpresa graduates to continue their education and earn a fully accredited American university degree in just two additional years of study.
Headquartered in the United States, Blackwell Global University specializes in online, globally accessible academic programs tailored for working adults and international students. The institution offers bachelor's and master's degree programs in fields such as business administration, international relations, technology, and health sciences, all designed with a flexible online format that adapts to the schedules of students worldwide.
IEmpresa, based in Peru, is a respected higher education institution offering three-year professional technical programs in areas such as International Business Administration, Accounting, and Business Management. The institute focuses on equipping students with strong technical skills, practical knowledge, and a results-oriented business mindset. The new agreement with BGU offers its graduates a unique opportunity to expand their academic credentials with an international degree that meets U.S. higher education standards.
Why an American Degree Makes a Difference
In Peru and many other Latin American countries, holding a university degree is often essential for access to higher-paying jobs, career advancement, and postgraduate studies. A degree from a U.S. institution adds an additional layer of competitiveness, global recognition, and access to international opportunities.
This agreement allows IEmpresa graduates to transfer credits from their three-year technical programs directly into BGU’s undergraduate degree pathways. By completing just two more years of coursework online, students can graduate with a bachelor’s degree awarded by an accredited American university. This arrangement not only shortens the time and cost traditionally required to obtain an international degree, but also enhances the students’ professional profile for both local and global job markets.
Global Academic Mobility through Online Education
One of the main advantages of this collaboration lies in its accessibility. BGU’s fully online format enables students to pursue their university education without leaving Peru, relocating abroad, or interrupting their careers. Courses are delivered in English and Spanish, and the curriculum is aligned with global labor market needs.
Moreover, the program is designed to recognize and validate the academic rigor and value of technical education in Latin America. Instead of starting from scratch, students can build upon their prior knowledge and fast-track their journey toward an academic qualification with international weight.
Strengthening International Alliances in Education
This partnership reflects a broader global trend in education, where institutions across borders collaborate to facilitate academic mobility, mutual recognition of credentials, and equitable access to quality education. It also supports Peru’s national strategy for internationalization of higher education, by offering local students meaningful connections with foreign institutions.
Both institutions have expressed their commitment to continuing to develop more international academic initiatives in the coming years, ensuring that students are better prepared for the demands of an interconnected and competitive world.
A Win-Win Opportunity for Students and Institutions
Ultimately, this collaboration offers a win-win solution: for students, it’s a chance to earn a globally recognized degree without leaving home; for both institutions, it strengthens their global reach and reaffirms their commitment to innovation in education.
With this agreement now in effect, students graduating from IEmpresa have a powerful new option to enhance their academic and professional prospects. By completing two additional years of online studies at Blackwell Global University, they will not only earn a U.S. degree but also position themselves as highly competitive professionals in the global labor market.
