Bachelor of Arts (BA)

Description of the Programme

The Bachelor of Arts degree programme has been designed for students who have a broad interest in pursuing careers across disciplines in the fields of humanities and Social Sciences. The programme allows students to choose courses in all of the major disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, namely, economics, business studies, mathematics, political science and public administration, anthropology, gender and development studies, french, sociology, geography, history, psychology, literature, English, Kiswahili, philosophy and religious studies, etc. The programme is transdisciplinary and it is specially tailored to give the students a wide range of opportunities in the job market. Students will acquire and develop key practical skills that employers value in employees including oral and written communication, interpersonal, teamwork, analytical, technical, critical thinking, organizational and problem-solving skills. What determines your career path is your programme combination and area(s) of specialization. In the first and second year, students are required to select any three (3) disciplines that are in line with their future career prospects. For instance, you can choose to study Economics, Sociology and Business Studies. In the third and fourth year, a student can drop one subject (for example Sociology) and continue with two (Economics and Business Studies – one as major and the other as the minor or both regular) or drop two subjects, for example, Sociology and Business Studies to specialize only in Economics.
