The growth of the Peruvian higher education democratized the access to a larger proportion of the population, but due to the lack of regulation, low-quality institutions emerged. Since 2012, several reforms pursue the improvement of quality and enhance the productivity and scientific-technological impact, in a process that could be developed without organization or strategy. This research collects the vision and mission of universities, analyzing them with an ontological framework to describe and understand the impact of the aspirations that universities propose to the country, assessing if they are being met, and the areas that need greater efforts for their deployment. The results reveal a major teaching approach, and an early development of the scientific research activity.
