The University of Maragoli is committed to providing thousands of men and women opportunities for a first-rate education and personal growth, whether preparing them for immediate entry into the workforce or for personal and cultural enrichment. The University is committed to educating the whole person, and advance each individual along their academic and life journey. The University targets the development of programs and services that are responsive to the present and future needs of Kenya as well as the changing societal, environmental, and economic needs throughout the world. The University will engage with community partners to develop projects that provide rich educational opportunities for students and meaningful benefits for the wider community. In addition, the University will work directly with secondary schools in a variety of collaboration and partnerships.
The University of Maragoli planned for a 2010 opening to provide access to higher education to residents of Kenya and beyond, as Centers of Excellence in Education offering undergraduate and graduate education. The University seeks to promote greater participation and understanding of the sciences, and encourages academic excellence for all people. Together, our community of thinkers will foster the social, personal and intellectual development among all who come in contact with the University.
The curriculum will combine innovative, “project-based” educational approaches with traditional methods to prepare students both with fundamental skills, perspectives and concepts, and the ability to use these fundamentals to address real world challenges, especially in the context of contemporary Kenyan society. As a Center for Excellence in Education, University of Maragoli seeks to promote greater participation of underrepresented groups, promotes diversity, and believes in the provision of academic excellence for all. The curriculum embraces the following educational innovations pioneered successfully in universities around the world, though rarely used to their fullest advantage, especially in the developing world where they are arguably most applicable.
