About UCU:
Uganda Christian University was founded when the historic Bishop Tucker
Theological College was promoted as a university in 1997. Bishop Tucker Theological
College trained clergy and educators during its 84-year history from 1913-1997.
The local chief, Hamu Mukasa, granted land for the college to operate in
Mukono. International partnerships were part of the College’s missionary
history. The Church Mission Society teamed with Ugandan leaders and others to
assure the College had the necessary intellectual and other capital. By the
late 1990s, the Church of Uganda sought to have a broader impact on society
through the higher education – not only of clergy but of other professionals as
well. Uganda Christian University was established in 1997.
