Maseno University continues to grow as an academic hub of choice to numerous prospective students. With its vision being a Center of Excellence in Teaching, Research and Development. Maseno has successfully integrated Information Technology (IT) into its academic programmes. This is an achievement that gives its students the ability to be able to take over the mantle of developing Kenya into a viable nation upon graduation.
Being an equal opportunity institution aiming at excellence, integrity, transparency and accountability, Maseno University endeavors to provide market driven courses. This explains the restructuring of its courses four years ago. With the increasing demand of such courses and its quest to bring education closer to the people, the institution has continued to expand its capacity through the establishment of the Kisumu Campus (Vasity Plaza) and by the recent upgrading of Bondo Teachers' Training College to Bondo University College, as a constituent College of Maseno University.
Towards attaining its mission of fostering and developing academic excellence in basic applied research at all levels of study, the university successfully completed the expansion of its lecture halls and office space at the Millennium Complex which will cope with the increased in-take of new students. This initiative has begun to yield positive results making congestion in offices and lecture hall facilities a thing of the past. The modern library with state of art facilities and IT connections will cater for the needs of the ever-increasing number of students and staff.
Maseno University's E-Learning programme is being coordinated at the Kisumu City Campus via satellite centers. The University academic staff have completed their training of course writters by Commonwealth of Learning. Thanks to their consultant, Mrs. Rosario passo who has ensured that our staff are fully qualified to meet the needs of many Kenyans who presenlt qualify but cannot get admission due to limited space.
Kisumu Hotel, "The Star of Lakeside Hospitality" is a prime property that was acquired by the University in 2004. The bed space has doubled from the original 40 to 80 rooms. The Hotel has enabled the University offer one of the best training programmes in Ecotourism, Hotel and Institution Management. Equipped with the state of the art conference facilities, the Hotel has in the recent past hosted several regional and international meetings. This enhances its status as the hub of western tourist circuit.
For quality assurance, the University has successfully completed training its staff in ISO certification related courses that will enable it to be ISO compliant.
