Brief History
In 1987, the Methodist Church in Kenya (MCK) formed a Working Committee to work out modalities of establishing a University in this region. In 1995 the Commission for Higher Education made an inspection visit of the project, and later in June 1997 granted a Letter of Interim Authority, giving approval for the establishment of Kenya Methodist University. This authority paved the way for the creation of academic programmes, research and post-graduate training. KeMU became a fully Chartered University in June 2006. The University maintains an ecumenical character. From the first batch of 9 students in 1997, the population has grown tremendously to over 10,000 currently. The university has satellite campuses in Nairobi, Nakuru, Mombasa and Nyeri.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
