About US:
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.
