A few years ago, pursuing a Masters course was seen as a privilege of just a few individuals in Kenya. However, as the competition in the job market intensified, more Kenyans began taking up post graduate courses to boost their chances of securing employment and qualifying for job promotions. Business courses are especially attractive as Kenya gears for a 24 hour economy and more and more individuals delve into the world of self employment. Meru University offers two post graduate courses under the School of Business and Economics. These are:

Masters of Business Administration (MBA)
