About Us
Tangaza College is a Catholic University College jointly owned by the member religious congregations. It has its roots in Catholic Tradition, especially as planted and nourished in East Africa (the AMECEA region) through the missionary endeavors which spanned the late 19th and entire 20th centuries. Now in the 21st century, and in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, the people of Tangaza recognize that they themselves are sent to participate in the renewal and development of that Tradition. As befits an institution of higher learning this will be realized primarily through commitment to academic excellence and the personal transformation of its students, both lay and religious.
Currently, the college offers undergraduate degrees, masters degree, diploma programmes and a number of certificate programmes in its various institutes. The phenomenal growth of the College is a reflection of the importance that the Kenya Nation attaches to development in those fields and in education in general, all these being rounded up with a religious and spiritual touch rendering the student an all round formation at Tangaza.
Tangaza University espouses the philosophy of Catholic Higher Education which strives for the integral formation in the physical, moral, social, intellectual and cultural dimension.
To be a university distinguished for academic excellence, service orientation and a commitment to social transformation according to the Gospel values.
To prepare ethical servant leaders for the church and society in an environment of freedom and responsibility by providing quality education, research and community service.
