Peru has a variety of names to describe university degrees in computer science or related fields. The adoption of international standards both in the area of knowledge and professional profiles generates all kinds of debates and reactions with few adoption results. The present study introduces the innovation diffusion theory to the analysis of the characteristics of the Peruvian university educational system and proposes the use of these techniques to identify the elements necessary to allow better adoption by institutions. Adoption alternatives that fit the different types of university are presented.
