The programmes are designed, developed and reviewed by Academic Departments in consultation with
stakeholders and need assessment surveys. They are verified and validated by Faculties, the Board of
Undergraduate Studies, and Board of Postgraduate Studies. The programmes are then approved by the
Senate. All these processes are guided by the University Statutes, university regulations and standards supervised by the Commission for University Education (CUE), Chuka University’s Standard Operating Procedures, and professional bodies’ requirements.
The degree programmes are then forwarded for accreditation by the Commission for University Education. Currently, 20 certificates, 25 diplomas, 65 bachelor’s degrees, 58 master’s degrees and 35 doctorate programmes are on offer.
