Maseno University

It started out as an off shoot of Moi university,but it now stands as tall, with its own branches across Nyanza province.

Maseno University’s history begun with the merging of Maseno Government Training Institute (GTI) with Siriba Teacher’s Training College to form Maseno University College as a Constituent College of Moi University. This led to its subsequent gazetting in October 1990 crowning the two institutions’ several decades of meritorious existence.

It became a full-fledged University 11 years later, in 2001. The University boasts of well conceived Faculties and Schools offering various degrees and diplomas in Social, Biology and Physical Sciences. The institution has managed to take advantage of several opportunities within the region and beyond which include collaboration with development agencies in and outside the country

Maseno University currently comprises three Campuses and a University College. Siriba and College are both in Maseno Township 25km from Kisumu on the Busia road. The core activities and central administration of the university takes place on these two Campuses.

The third which is Kisumu City Campus is made up of the Vasity Plaza where the Maseno Information Technology Centre (MITC) is, and Kisumu Hotel which includes the Conference Complex.

The City Campus which is within the Central Business District of Kisumu City is exclusively served by a spacious parking situated directly opposite the Hotel. With the strategic acquisition of the Varsity Plaza in which Electronic Learning is housed, the University’s presence in Kisumu City and the role in the Social economic development of the entire region is poised to be quite significant.

Bondo University College (former Bondo Teachers Training College) became a Constituent College of Maseno University in December 2008. With such achievements, the University is on course in its quest to expand in academic excellence and applied research, by providing people from Western region and the nation at large with an opportunity to acquire higher education.
