Mwenge Catholic University

Mwenge Catholic University, formerly Mwenge University College of Education, is a university located in Moshi, Tanzania.

The university's origins trace back to 1954 with the establishment of St. Joseph's Teachers College, dedicated to training secondary school science teachers. This early focus on education set the foundation for the institution's future growth and influence. It quickly became known for its commitment to excellence in teacher training, contributing significantly to the development of science education in the region. The emphasis on quality education remains a cornerstone of its mission to this day. In 2005, the institution transitioned into a constituent college of St. Augustine University of Tanzania, marking a pivotal moment in its evolution. This change allowed for an expansion of its academic programs and research initiatives, broadening its impact beyond teacher training. The collaboration with St. Augustine University further strengthened its academic framework and institutional reputation. This period of growth laid the groundwork for its future achievements and advancements.

A transformative milestone came in 2018 when the institution achieved full university status, symbolizing its maturity and readiness to operate as an independent institution. This upgrade reflected its commitment to providing diverse educational opportunities and enhancing research capacities. The attainment of university status also expanded its role in shaping the academic, cultural, and economic landscape of the region. It has since become a hub for intellectual development and innovation. Today, the university continues to build on its rich history, blending tradition with progress to meet the needs of modern education. Guided by its foundational values, it remains focused on producing skilled, ethical, and socially responsible graduates. Through its dedication to excellence and community engagement, the university is poised to play a leading role in advancing education and development within and beyond its borders.
