Pan Africa Christian (PAC) University is a private Christian University in Nairobi, Kenya.[1]

History

The first classes were held in September 1978, in what was then known as Pan Africa Christian College.[2]

Originally founded as a Bible College, the university was built on the site of the former Lumumba Institute (Current Thika Road Campus).[3]

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.[4][5]

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).{[6][7]
