What does “Awaiting NCHE Approval” mean?
Before any new academic program can admit students in Uganda, it must first receive accreditation from the National Council for Higher Education. This process verifies the curriculum, staffing, facilities, and quality assurance mechanisms. Once approved, the program is added to the Faculty's official program offering.
