MKU: Grain of wheat produces rich harvest

The academic seed that Dr Simon N. Gicharu planted in the form of a commercial computer outreach centre in 1996 have borne fruit. Two decades later and the transition to Thika Institute of Technology in 2002 and finally to a fully Chartered University in 2011, MKU’s growth and development has had a profound impact on society.

Since 1996 about 70,000 graduates of the precursor, Thika Institute of Technology and Mount Kenya University, have been awarded various certificates, diplomas and conferred degrees in the various market driven programmes disciplines.
