Tuition
- No Tangaza fee figures could be verified — contact inquiries@tangaza.ac.ke or +254 722 204 724. Ask for the CURRENT structure specifically: Tangaza was chartered only in May 2024, and institutions commonly restructure pricing on gaining independence, so older figures may be stale. Its former parent CUEA charges per unit at KSh 6,000 for bachelor's and KSh 8,000 for graduate programmes; Tangaza may or may not still follow that model. THE FUNDING ROUTE MOST WORTH PURSUING HERE IS CONGREGATIONAL. Tangaza's origins in social ministry training mean a substantial share of its students are religious sisters, brothers and priests sponsored by their congregations — if you belong to a Catholic religious congregation, ask about that before anything else. As a private university Tangaza accesses HELB loans only, not Universities Fund scholarships, and its HELB status may have changed with the charter, so confirm rather than assume. FEES ARE QUOTED PER SEMESTER: KES 70,000-95,000 a semester, which is the KES 140,000-190,000 a year shown here. Certificates are far cheaper at about KES 18,000 and diplomas about KES 28,200. PEACE STUDIES AND SOCIAL MINISTRY ARE THE DISTINCTIVE PROVISION — uncommon in this directory and the main reason to choose Tangaza over a general university.
