Universidad Nacional de San Agustin, Arequipa

National University of St Augustin of Arequipa, known locally as Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa is a state-owned university. It is the oldest local state university in Arequipa, and has been in continuous operation since its founding on November 11, 1828.

The university is currently in a process of reform, due to the massive and generalized scandals of corruption involving both authorities and teachers. Strikes are not uncommon, both by teachers and by students. Arequipa's principal stadium — one of the largest in Peru, Estadio de la UNSA — was built and directed by this university.
