[edit] History

Bishop Stuart University is named after Bishop Stuart who was the Anglican Bishop in Uganda in the middle of the 20th Century.[1] The university started operations in 2003 at the campus of then Kakoba National Teacher's College, (KNTC), in the western Ugandan city of Mbarara. In the beginning, prior to BSU attaining full accreditation, the university arranged for the students educated at BSU, to be awarded certificates, diplomas and degrees by Uganda Christian University[2] KNTC ceased operations at the end of 2005 and in 2006 BSU took over the premises and grounds previously occupied by the teachers' college.[3] In 2006, BSU held her maiden graduation ceremony. However, the certificates, diplomas and degrees were awarded by UCU. [4][5] The first batch of students to graduate on BSU letterheads were the graduates of 2009.[6]
