AccreditationCommission for University Education (CUE) — Kenya's statutory regulator for university education established under the Universities Act, 2012, mandated to regulate, accredit, and assure quality of all university education in Kenya
Founded 1981 (as Jomo Kenyatta College of Agriculture and Technology, a middle-level college); chartered as JKUAT in 1994. Kenya's leading public STEM university, located in Juja in Kiambu County — approximately 36 km northeast of Nairobi along the Thika Super Highway. Originally founded 1981 as a middle-level agricultural and technical college through Japanese development assistance (JICA), named after Kenya's founding president Jomo Kenyatta. Chartered as a full university in 1994. Six colleges: Engineering & Technology, Agriculture & Natural Resources, Architecture & Engineering, Health Sciences, Human Resource Development, and Pure & Applied Sciences. Recognised for engineering, computer science, agriculture, biotechnology, and architecture programmes. The main campus is in Juja (not Thika as commonly miscited in casual sources).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
