There is no doubt that the media industry in Kenya has grown in leaps and bounds over the past couple of years. This is pretty much evident by the fact that many media houses in Kenya have set up base in the recent times, just to beef up the competition. Unlike in the 1990s, when all Kenyans were forced to watch was KBC television and listen to KBC Radio Taifa, things have truly changed over the past one decade. Generally, the 21st century has seen many developments in Kenya, and this means in all facets of life.

The main issue, which you however need to think about, is the quality of education that you will be able to get from these institutions in Kenya. Does the college or university in Kenya value its students? Do they offer courses in Kenya which are accredited by the Kenya Commission for Higher Education? Do they have qualified lecturers in Kenya? Do the institutions in Kenya have the right kind of facilities and support platforms? Are the institutions’ degrees or diplomas recognized in Kenya?
