KETER PHILIP KIBET
Message from Dean Of School Of Business
It is with great pleasure that I write about School of Business and Economics (SBE), a school that is currently experiencing a major leap of all times. SBE is a sphere of business and economics studies. The School of Business and Economics was established in the year 2014, with a mission to provide a holistic Business Education, Training and Research in Human Capital Development aiming to produce globally competitive graduates.
The School boasts of quality, market driven and very innovative programmes administered in Garissa University. We believe in the power of education to transform and to offer opportunity and access to all. Students within the school at all levels of progress and more that will join are assured of a resourceful team of staff that have a common focus, that of academic progress. SBE is driven by a strong belief in fairness, professionalism and academic progress. The reason why SBE is such a great school is its faculty and its broad academic offerings; its palette of culture and technology.
