StatementThe College of Science strives to be the premier source for science education in the Horn of Africa region. We aspire to be a center for scholarship, creativity, and innovation which develops appropriate educational programs of high quality in line with international standards, including those at Masters level, as the emerging needs of the region dictate. Mission Statement Education The principal mission of the College is to be the leading provider in the Horn of Africa Region of a comprehensive science education at Bachelor and Masters level which meets international standards; an education which guides students through the theoretical and practical aspects of their chosen disciplines and provides them with sufficient breadth to understand and successfully meet the challenges of a rapidly changing society while preserving a focus on their major field of study which will prepare them for the workforce or post graduate study. Students will benefit from a curriculum which fully accommodates professional work experience and is designed to produce graduates who are critical thinkers, ethical professionals, and life long learners with a commitment to the local community as well as a global society. Research The College of Science is committed to both basic and applied research with a special emphasis in areas of strategic importance to the Horn of Africa Region. It is expected that much of the work produced within the College should have both local and international impact. The College also regards research activity by both staff and students as being an integral part of the educational process and aims to provide an environment which maximizes this activity by optimizing use of available resources. In this regard, faculty encourages student participation in research even at the undergraduate level. Outreach The establishing and maintaining relationships of support and involvement with public and private sectors represent the foundation of our efforts to link the College with external constituencies. The College also plays a role in promoting general public awareness and understanding of the basic sciences.
