Sumario:The city of Cusco, former capital city of the Inca Civilization, has housed for over three centuries the Universidad National San Antonio Abad of Cusco (UNSAAC). Study of the linguistic attitudes of college students towards Quechua becomes necessary to understand the potential landscape for the maintenance and recovery of the Quechua languagein Cusco, particularly at the UNSAAC which has agrowing Quechua-speaking population. This article explores thelinguistic attitudes of university students towards Quechua through ananonymous, non-probabilistic survey study. Herein, languaje attitude is understood as the affective response of the students of the UNSAAC towards the Quechua language.In 2016, more than 300 UNSAAC students were surveyed to observe their languajeattitudes towards Quechua. The hypothesis tested was the following: University students of the UNSAAC demonstrate positive languaje attitudes towards Quechua. Unlike Wolck's conclusion that the Quechua language tends to have a high positive value on a personal level butnot a high instrumental institutional value(Wolck, 2003); the results of this study reveal the existence of the personal and institutional value of Quechua held by students as their languaje attitudes are positive towards Quechua both outside and within the university
