History
Established in 1991, Unity language school was offering English, Arabic, French, and Italian language courses. It started with less than 50 students, a few part-time teachers, and administration personnel. Progressively, the institute launched diploma programs in accounting, marketing, business, personnel administration, secretarial science and office management from 1997 to 1999. In March 1998 the institute was upgraded to a college level, following its achievements in education, becoming the first privately owned college in Ethiopia.[2] Later named Unity College, the institute has launched degree programs in various disciplines. Unity was promoted to university leveling September 2008, becoming the first privately owned university. It has since been known as Unity University (U.U.).
