Our university offers students degree programs, which are intended to yield effective eminence in education based on relevant and effective learning. The college leadership work in consort with each other to assure that the curriculum is conducive to a precise and rigorous student learning experience.
History
In 2015, Dr. Uwa Onyioha Osimiri, a Ph.D graduate of Natural Theology, university professor in organizational management , Ph.D candidate in Clinical Psychology at Walden University in Minneapolis USA and business entrepreneur, noted the gap in educational framework used to educate Africans did not contain a curriculum with the cultural dictates that would move African students from a perpetual state of inertia and stewards of imperialistic academic models in Africa, to a level of global competitiveness. Recognizing the increased awareness in African culture as a unique cauldron from which academic excellence can gyrate, and the technological benefits of the internet, she saw an opportunity—and seized it—to cater to African students with an intense sense of cultural awareness and working adults seeking higher relevant education from a broader educational framework. Dr. Uwa became the founder and Chancellor of African Continental University designed to close this academic void. In consultation with Ochuaja, Udee Kama Onyioha, co-founder, and African Continental University Online web developer, additional members of the Board of regents were incorporated. African Continental University is incorporated in the State of Georgia as part of the Chiist Higher learning Corporation.
Now we are a premier global private university, offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Renewable Energy, African History, Religious studies, Critical Thinking in Leadership and Business Management, Behavioral Sciences, Information Technology, Agricultural Science, at local locations, as well as online. Our University is driven by innovation in education, and utilizes many conveniences that students need— evening classes, variable scheduling, constant enrollment, a student-friendly and centered environment, online classes, a digital library and computer simulations of scenarios. The foundational principles of the University stems from the dictates of African culture, which reminds the student that every human being has worth but to demonstrate it requires acute self awareness, personal validation through hard work, high moral quality, peace and love, which is within the personal ability of every African at home or in Diaspora. Developing pride in their cultural heritage and embracing an ability to become critical global thinkers upon which to reenact Africa’s glorious past in the present and future will benefit a new generation of African leadership and the ultimate goal of African centered education.
