The Kenyan University Ranking has identified the most popular Colleges and Universities in Kenya based on specific criteria. These include being chartered, licensed, or accredited by the relevant Kenyan higher education-related organization, offering at least three-year bachelor’s degrees or postgraduate master’s or doctoral degrees, and delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format. The compilation aims to provide an impartial League Table of the top Kenyan Universities and Colleges, utilizing valid and unbiased web metrics from independent sources rather than data submitted by the institutions themselves.
