Brief Introduction about Tumaini University Dar es salaam College..


Tumaini University, founded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT), currently Tumaini University consists of six constituent Colleges: Iringa University College, Makumira University College, Kilimanjaro Christian medical College, Tumaini University Dar es Salaam College, Stefano Moshi Memorial University College and the Sebastian Kolowa University College
TUDARCo, a new acquisition of Tumaini University, it is currently situated adjacent to Kinondoni Lutheran Church. It also occupies some of the buildings of the African Evangelistic Enterprises (AEE), which are only a stone throw away from the church. It also has a campus at the Kurasini Lutheran Congregation in Dar es Salaam.
The origins of TUDARCo are embedded in the then Waldorf College Tanzania (WCT) established in 1997 as a branch and later a mission college of Waldorf College, Forest City in Iowa, USA. WCT was a liberal arts college offering, by way of modules, two years of study in Dar es Salaam and another two years in a USA college to complete the Bachelor of Arts degrees in Business Administration and Management Information System colleges. Students had to transfer to USA with between 54 and 60 credits.
However, sometime in 2001, the authorities of WCT thought a partnership with Tumaini University would be to its advantage. Consequently, discussions opened between the relevant authorities through their various organs, and eventually in April 2003, TUDARCo was born as an associate college of Tumaini University, joining its three sisters.
TUDARCo offers both undergraduate and graduate programmes on full-time as well as part time basis during the day and evening. All TUDARCO academic programmes run on a semester basis.
