Chuka University College Postgraduate courses

This has enhanced the levels of research and helped produce PHD holders who are thorough in conducting research in various fields.

Post-Graduate studies in Chuka University College started in 2005 when Eastern Campus was founded by Egerton University. Uniquely, unlike other Campuses then, the Post-graduate students at Eastern Campus out-numbered the undergraduate students. The first group of the Post-graduate students was admitted in November 2005.

Initially, the administration of the programs was centralized at Egerton University Njoro Campus. In 2007, when the Campus was gazetted and elevated to a University College status, the Director of the Campus inaugurated a co-ordination office for Post-graduate studies.
