Welcome to Daystar University!
At Daystar University, we equip students holistically to ensure they are well prepared intellectually, socially and spiritually.
Our curriculum is designed in such a way that students enroll for General Education courses besides one’s area of specialization. General Education courses comprise courses in Bible, Literature, Communication, Physical Education, and Sciences. Our educational philosophy is based on the persuasion that biblical truth is the foundation of all knowledge. Therefore, you will find that prayer and devotion are natural part of classroom activities besides the structured spiritual nurture programs run by the Chaplaincy. For more information on the latter, refer to information from the University Chaplaincy.
Here at Daystar we seek to transform our students in a way that enables them to become agents of transformation in the church and society.
Our goal is to equip well-informed, well-rounded, disciplined and innovative professionals for the 21st century. Our promise is to graduate individuals who are characterized by openness, transparency, accountability and responsible stewardship of public, private and personal resources. These principles are non-negotiable.
Daystar University has engaged the very best lecturers and instructors who are committed to be good role models in scholarship and teaching approaches. I therefore encourage you to forge lasting academic and professional relationships with them. Over the last 50 years of our existence, we have noticed that our graduates who succeed are those who are committed to a personal growth success strategy. As you join the University, this is the best time to initiate a personal strategy that works for you and that is tailored for your career pursuits. Personal strategic planning is based on the premise that life will not always go according to plan unless you have a plan. To be the best in what you do does not come easily; it requires God’s guidance besides hard work. We are here to support you to reach your highest potential.
As you embark on your academic journey, remember that your success in character formation, professional training and academic development will depend on your commitment, hard work, determination and discipline. I therefore encourage you to remain focused during your life as a student of Daystar University.
Doing so also comes with a number of responsibilities, the most important being your obligation to contribute to the realization of the University’s Mission, Vision and Core Values of Excellence, Transformation and Servant-Leadership.
To truly live the Daystar University values, you will need to espouse the qualities of Self- discipline; Respect for others; Perseverance; Loyalty; Compassion; Integrity; Responsibility; Honesty and Hard work among others.
