The University of Saint Paul-T (abbreviation: USP-T) was created on July 4, 2007 by presidential decree.
USP-T has established two strategic fields of knowledge: territorial competitiveness and Andean regional integration.
That follows the organization and institutional design of training and research in multiple academic units: Academic offerings include nine degree tracks, two technical college tracks, and courses of teacher training.
The university, as part of its institutional policy based on education excellence, offers a scholarship program.
In 2011, USP-T launched a financial aid program: "University for All" (Spanish: Universidad para todos).
