The Commission for University Education (CUE) has cautioned Kenyans over the issuance of degrees by Northwestern Christian University.
In a statement on Tuesday, December 24, CUE disclosed that the institution is not accredited and therefore any credentials it offers will not be recognized in the country.
“The Commission has taken note of widely circulating media reports on purported issuance of honorary doctorates in Kenya by an entity going by the name Northwestern Christian University.
“The Commission wishes to inform the public that the entity operating in Kenya by the name Northwestern Christian University is an unaccredited institution. This fact was brought to the attention of the public by the Commission in a newspaper advert published in June 2023. It was made explicitly clear that the institution was not accredited to offer any university education in Kenya and that any purported credentials issued would not be recognized in Kenya,” CUE CEO Prof. Mike Kuria stated.
Kuria further disclosed that the commission is currently investigating circumstances surrounding the award of degrees by the institution and will take appropriate action.
