<summary type="text">BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN  MATHEMATICS   AND COMPUTER SCIENCE
Kenya Methodist University
Mainly  the joining  together   of Mathematics   and  Computer   Science knowledge has  developed  modem  technology.    It is therefore  important   that  the users and&#13;
beneficiaries  of  that  technology  have  a solid  knowledge  of  both  components, mathematics   and  computer   science.   This  knowledge  will  help  them  to better appreciate   the technology  at hand  and, more  importantly,  to use  it much  more efficiently.   Our students  of mathematics  and computer  science will certainly be important   users  of this technology.   Our programme   aims to equip  them with a strong   base,  which  should   enable  them  not  only  to  appreciate  and  use  the technology  more  efficiently but also to eventually improve  it.&#13;
&#13;
The programme   of study leads to the academic  degree of Bachelor  of Science in Mathematics  and Computer  Science (BSc).  The programme   offers  four options of concentration:   two in Mathematics   (Applied  Mathematics   and  Statistics) and	two   in   Computer    Science   (Software    Engineering  and    Computer&#13;
Networking).&#13;
The specific objectives of the programme  are to produce a graduate  who will:&#13;
&#13;
•     Work  comfortably  in a computerized  mathematical   environment &#13;
 &#13;
Be  adequately   prepared    for  post-graduate    study   in  either   Mathematics   or Computer  Science.   Option  courses  in the third and  the fourth  year are intended to help reach  this objective.
The Proposal was approved by the Commission for Higher Education on 19th March 2004

<summary type="text">PROPOSED CURRICULUM FOR:  BACHELOR OF EDUCATION IN SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION
Kenya Methodist University
The rationale of Bachelor of Education  (Special Needs Education) Programme is  to  train   students  to  become  competent   special   needs   teachers   in   the aspects  of Social Studies,  Agriculture, Mathematics  and   Science as  well  as Language education  in  primary  schools   and   other   special   needs   education institutions.&#13;
&#13;
According  to the  Kenya  Education Sector  Support Programme 2005-2010   one&#13;
of  the   constraints    facing   access,    equity  and   quality  in   the   provision  of education  and  training  to children is  "inadequate  capacity,  competence and&#13;
I     skills among   many   teachers  to  handle  children with   Special   Needs".   The&#13;
Bachelor of Education  (Special  Needs Education) is a fitting response to these&#13;
needs.&#13;
The  main   goal  of the  programme is  to  produce graduates with  knowledge, skills   and    competence   to   teach   and    manage  Special    Needs   Education&#13;
Programmes in an inclusive classroom environment.
The degree programme was approved by the Commission for University Education on 14th October 2014

<summary type="text">Accreditation report for Daystar University
Daystar University
Daystar University College has been under the guidance of the Commission for Higher Education for the purposes of accreditation in Kenya since 1986.&#13;
Since that time, the Commission and its various Committees, have carried out a number of &#13;
Inspections/visitations on Daystar between 1986 and 1992.  The preliminary visit was carried out in July 1986. This was followed by a more detailed inspection and visitation in August, 1987, during which a number of recommendations were made to Daystar with regard to physical facilities, academic programmes, financial resources and draft charter.&#13;
The 1987 inspection was followed by the 1990 and 1992     inspections and visitations during which, not only did  the Inspection Committee interview the Principal and his chief officers, but also the Governing Council, academic staff and students on various issues. The inspections by the Inspection committee	were preceded by the inspections by the Technical Committee, which gave detailed reports on physical facilities, and which therefore became the basis of the inspection of physical facilities by the Inspection Committee.&#13;
The 1992 inspection/visitation was a much more• comprehensive one, covering as it did, all aspects of institutional accreditation, with a view to finding out the state of preparedness of Daystar for the award of charter.&#13;
The 1992 inspection coincided with Daystar's rapid development of the Athi River Campus, which had been acquired in 1990, and   to which they had moved first year students in September 1992.&#13;
&#13;
From the  interaction Daystar has  had with  the Commission, we believe that they have learnt a lot, and are thus now fully        conscious of the high academic standards the Commission has set  to establish in Kenya, as well as high standards expected of   them in  all  fields of their operations.&#13;
We believe that Daystar is now in a position to take off as a university institution, capable of formulating sound policies and regulating its own academic standards, with the sole purpose of promoting quality higher education in Kenya.&#13;
As part of the accreditation exercise, we have made a number of recommendations on which Daystar is expected to take actions within the next one to three years, as a condition for the award of Charter. With the resolve they have shown to develop as a university institution in Kenya, we have no doubt that they will take action on the recommendations	as required, and live up to the expectations the Commission has built on them.&#13;
The Commission therefore has no hesitation in recommending that Daystar be awarded a Charter.
The Accreditation Report is   presented in two volumes. Volume I deals with the Charter, Statutes and Report on the inspections and visitations by the Commission. Volume II deals with the Curriculum.

<summary type="text">Re-inspection report for  United States International University (USIU)
CUE
ABSTRACT&#13;
In exercise of its mandate stipulated in the Universities Act 1985 and Universities Rules 1989 the Commission for Higher Education (CHE) inspected United States International University in November 2007.&#13;
Rule 19 (1) (b) requires institutions to submit to supervision by CHE including inspection and visitation at such intervals as may be determined by the Commission.&#13;
The main objectives of the re-inspection were:&#13;
i) To assess the extent of which United States International University had developed and maintained standards since the award of Charter.&#13;
ii) To assess the extent to which USIU had adhered to the provisions of its Charter.&#13;
iii) To assess the extent to which USIU had implemented recommendations of the Commission at the award of Charter.&#13;
The inspection comprised of the assessment of a Self-Evaluation Report and an onsite inspection of the University. During the onsite inspection meetings were held with the Board of Trustees/Directors, the University Management Board, Academic Council, Staff, Students and Alumni.&#13;
The Commission concluded that while the University needed to sort out governance issues to avoid contravening the Charter, it was offering quality education and had implemented most of the Commission's recommendations. With its current enrolment of nearly 4000 students the University is playing an increasingly more significant role in the provision of quality higher education in Kenya.
