The digital transformation of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector requires human capital trained in collaborative methodologies. In Peru, the BIM Peru Plan establishes the mandatory nature of this methodology by 2030, posing a critical challenge for academia. This research analyzes and evaluates the proposal for curricular integration of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology at the levels of technical, university and postgraduate higher education in Peru, in accordance with the regulatory framework in force to 2025. A qualitative research design of documentary and descriptive nature was used. A categorical content analysis of the national regulations was carried out, mainly R.D. No. 004-2025-EF/63.01, using as dimensions of analysis the fundamentals, modeling and management of information under the standards of the ISO 19650 standard. A didactic progression structured in three levels was identified: technical (operational/production), university (coordination/collaboration) and postgraduate (strategic management/direction). The transition from a software tool-based approach to one focused on information requirements management is highlighted. Curricular alignment with international standards (ISO 19650) is robust; however, a gap persists between the regulations and the installed capacity in universities. It is concluded that curricular standardization is a driver for interoperability in the public sector, recommending the implementation of interdisciplinary laboratories to mitigate disciplinary isolation.
