Nexford University granted license to offer American-accredited degrees in Kenya

Nexford University, a leading American-accredited online institution, has received official approval from Kenya's Commission for University Education (CUE) to operate in the country through its Nexford Kenya agency.


This approval enables Kenyan students to obtain globally recognized degrees and certifications, furthering Nexford's mission to provide affordable, flexible, and future-focused education that meets the needs of the 21st-century job market.


With this license, Kenyan students can now enroll in American-accredited undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as short courses and certifications, without leaving the country.


Nexford's fully online, flexible learning model allows students to balance their education with work and family responsibilities, while the monthly tuition payment option makes high-quality education more affordable.


“We are thrilled to receive this license from CUE, which underscores our commitment to providing Kenyan learners with access to high-quality, American-accredited education,” said Fadl Al Tarzi, CEO of Nexford University.


“Kenya’s vibrant workforce and entrepreneurial spirit align perfectly with our mission, and we are excited to support the country’s national AI strategy through our AI-related programs.”


Nexford’s programs are designed to equip learners with in-demand skills, delivering measurable outcomes.


According to recent data, 80% of learners are promoted at work within 18 months, 81% receive immediate salary increases, and 84% of graduates hold leadership positions.


Additionally, 80% of alumni report a substantial return on investment, highlighting the university’s focus on career advancement and financial growth.


By offering globally relevant education tailored to the evolving needs of the workforce, Nexford is empowering Kenyan learners to achieve their professional goals and contribute to the nation’s economic development.
