Kenya has a number of Universities and other institution of higher learning as follows;

  • 22 Public universities, 14 Chartered Private universities and 12 universities with Letter of Interim Authority (LIA)

These Universities are established through institutional Acts of Parliament under the Universities Act, 2012 which provides for the development of university education, the establishment, accreditation and governance of universities. According to a 2004 report on reforming higher education in Kenya, the rapid expansion of university education in the country was a spontaneous response to the increasing demand for higher education necessitated by the increasing flow of students from schools. For other post secondary institutions, see the list of post secondary institutions in Kenya.
