Pan Africa Christian University
History
The first classes were held in September 1978, in what was then known as Pan Africa Christian College.
Originally founded as a Bible College, the university was built on the site of the former Lumumba Institute (Current Thika Road Campus).
With the changes in the Higher Education sector in Kenya, the college grew to a point where it was Chartered as a Private University by President Mwai Kibaki in February 2008. With the Charter came the change in name to Pan Africa Christian (PAC) University.
Over the years, PAC University has grown in terms of its academic-offering to a point where it currently has over thirty five (35) courses on offer, with all the graduate and undergraduate courses approved by Commission for University Education (CUE).{
