Established in 1984, Catholic University of Eastern Africa was founded as a theology institution of higher learning. It ranks as one of the most prestigious universities in the region, with a high academic performance record and one of the best reputations in the country. 

At the start, Catholic University of Eastern Africa was permitted by the Commission of Higher Education, to offer students courses in the faculty of arts, social sciences, commerce, science and law. It has far-grown from there and now boasts a wide academic offering spanning across the faculty of education, social justice & ethics and continuous professional development, in addition to the initial faculties mentioned above. They offer students courses at certificate-level, diploma-level, postgraduate diploma-level, bridging courses, degree-level, masters-level and doctorate-level. 

They offer different modes of learning to facilitate their students’ differing needs. A student can choose to either pursue their course or programme full-time, part-time, during the evening or via their open and distance learning center. Students are able to benefit from their extensive, high-level facilities; 

- Their ultra-modern and well-stocked library and e-library services 
- Their state-of-the-art computer lab facilities 
- An advanced research center 
- A wide range of sports, games, clubs and societies 
- Their student welfare services and medical services 
- Their well maintained student accommodation 
- Their financial support services 

Catholic University's student intake varies across the year depending on the mode of learning that is preferable to a student. January, May and August student intakes are designated to their regular academic programs while January, May and September enrollments are allocated to their evening academic programmes, and their open and distance learning programmes. Their April, August and December student intake is set for their school-based programmes. They’ve worked hard to make their programmes accessible to as many students as possible, and are continuously enhancing their academic structures and offering to align with their students’ needs.
