Faculty of Commerce

Welcome to the Faculty of Commerce

It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to all of you.

The Faculty of Commerce was established in September 2001, when it admitted its first group of undergraduate students in Bachelor of commerce and 29 masters of business administration (MBA). Since then, the Faculty has enrolled students in other programs such as; Bachelor of  Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management, Bachelor of Procurement and Supply Chain Management, and postgraduate level programs (Masters of Business Administration, Master of Science in Human Resource Management and Doctor of Philosophy Degree). The Faculty also services other Academic Departments in Business Units as outlined in specific programs. Currently, the student population in the Faculty stands at 952 across the various programmes. This comprises bachelors, masters, Ph.D., and diploma.

Administratively, the Faculty has two (2) departments, namely: Accounting, Finance & Management Science housing the disciplines of Accounting, Finance, Operations Management, Project Management, Procurement & Supply Chain Management and Information Systems and Business Administration housing the disciplines of Human Resource Management, Marketing, Cooperative Management, Entrepreneurship, Insurance & Risk Management and Strategic Management.

Our undergraduate and graduate programmes foster students’ skills in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Global Business Management, Human Resource Management, Information Systems, Marketing, Operations Management, Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Risk and Insurance Management, and Strategic Management. In recent years, the Faculty has experienced increased enrolment in the PhD in Business and Management
Programme. These courses are offered in two modes: full-time and part-time. The Faculty offers both day/evening and weekend classes. There are Saturday classes to accommodate the working students. This mode of study has attracted many students who find the flexibility appealing to their schedules. The courses offered appeal to both school leavers and professionals who need to advance the careers. They are market driven and tailor made for each market segment. The fee structure is also competitive and attracts many students.

Our undergraduate and graduate programs are delivered by an outstanding faculty that brings top-notch academic credentials, robust research programs, and extensive professional experience into the classroom with them every day. With such programs, the students complete their studies within scheduled time. The number of Faculty with PhD has increased in recent years. This has enhanced the faculty’s capacity to run postgraduate programmes.  Through University organized training in online teaching, the faculty has enhanced skills on the use of technology in teaching. The quality of our graduands is unmatched world over, because they are not only taught theory, but have to undertake industrial attachment in order to gain hands on experience in their areas of specialization. Some of our graduates are working with reputable organizations after graduation, while others are pursuing post graduate studies locally and abroad. Furthermore, faculty members continuously engage in research in various fields related to Business Management. Through this, they are able to identify areas of research in which our postgraduate students can engage in order to fulfill the requirements for graduation as outlined in the curricula.

Diversity is a core value that we cherish at the Faculty of Commerce. It extends beyond gender, ethnicity and social class, encouraging a richness of ideas, perspectives, and experiences.
