The School of Economics celebrates commendable progress in its new degree programmes since its inception in January 2008.
The School offers Bachelor of Economics and Finance, Bachelor of Economics and Statistics, and Bachelor of Economics degrees. The School has a total of about 1200 undergraduate students, and the number is projected to double by the next academic year.
Plans are underway to offer our flagship programme, Bachelor of Economics and Finance, in all the campuses of Kenyatta University, namely: Nyeri, Nakuru, Kitui, Mombasa and the City Campus.
The School offers the following Masters Degree programmes during the day and evening: Master of Economics (Finance); Master of Economics (International Trade & Finance); Master of Economics (Econometrics); and Master of Economics. The evening classes are held at Parklands Campus, but will move to City Campus beginning January 2010.
The PhD programme by coursework, examination and thesis is the first in the country. The pioneer group comprising five students admitted in 2007 has successfully completed their coursework, and they are currently working on their thesis. Every effort is being made to ensure that they graduate within three years of study. The total number of students in the programme is thirty (30).
