About the Law School

Universidad del Istmo (University of the Isthmus), commonly referred to as UNIS, is a private university in Guatemala. It is affiliated with Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church, which is responsible for matters relating to the Christian orientation of the school. There are universities in Panama City, Panama and Oaxaca, Mexico by the same name.
UNIS was officially founded in 1997 as the successor institution of the Instituto Femenino de Estudios Superiores (IFES), (Institute of Higher Education for Women). The assets and employees of IFES were transferred to the Universidad del Istmo in September 1997, when the university officially received its charter from Guatemala's Consejo de la Enseñanza Privada Superior (Council of Private Higher Education).
