Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24. Dr. Timothy Wachira Vice-Chancellor Daystar University Welcome! To a University with a difference! The changing nature of work, technology, and competition in the global job market has far outpaced what the education system in many universities provides for students, despite the ongoing efforts of educators and communities to improve them. Priorities and goals set by educators at all levels of academia are doing little to alleviate this problem. Assessment is the one true measure of academic excellence but it slowly but surely limits many young people s chances of experiencing any semblance of the success in life that we expect for them and that they believe school will provide for them. The present and upcoming structure of the education system in Daystar University does students a tremendous justice by delivering the quality schooling that the job market requires today. Globalization and rapid technological advancements are having dramatic effects on the ways we communicate and conduct business as well as in our personal lives. History teaches us that even as new technologies create growth and new opportunity, they can heighten economic inequalities and sharpen social divisions. As we move into the information age, we can reap the growth that comes from revolutionary technologies. To further this quest to achieve the millennium development goals and the vision 2030, I am glad that modern state of the art structures are complete and this will ensure the quest to achieve our goals is fulfilled. I am pleased that at Daystar University we strive to give you a wholesome educational experience that enables you to recognize these disparities and thus empowering you to address the same through the biblical perspectives incorporated in our teaching programmes. Education should increase students understanding of the world around them. core. As students move from class to class and progress to the next grade, they are exposed to content-specific knowledge. They are taught how what they learn in one class relates to another or its application in the world outside of school. Incorporating more rigorous and relevant instruction in classrooms is what we as a university emphasize on. When students are engaged in the learning process, real achievement takes place, and their chances to excel at what they do increase. My hope and prayer is that we can learn to embrace this and work towards the gratification of God as it is He that we should all be serving. This should be reflected through our day to day activities in teaching, learning and any work within and away from this great Institution. Excellence cannot by any means be achieved in a day or two. It is a continuing process that we should all embrace. We should renew our commitment to excellence as a university as we strive to continue offering the best university education there can be in the country and ultimately, the world over. Our objective is for Daystar University to become a one stop educational institution of higher learning where the core programmes necessary for meeting the development needs of this country are taught while retaining our philosophy of instilling biblical values in those who pass through our hands. For as you well know life is holistic in nature and it is therefore required of us to always have a balance between the physical and spiritual, philosophy and conscience, and individuality and communality. This can only be achieved when we all embrace a biblical perspective to life. Assessments play an important role in education, but a score on a test does not usually help the student when he or she is competing for a job with someone from around the globe. It is important that our students enter the global economy with the ability to apply what they learned in the university to a variety of ever-changing situations that they couldn t foresee before graduating. That is the mark of a quality education and a truer indication of academic excellence. Daystar University provides opportunities for students to work together to improve their understanding of concepts in the academic v

Daystar University - Profile About us The University was founded in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, by S.E Motsoko-Pheko, a political refugee from South Africa and Dr. Donald Smith & Mrs. Faye Smith, an American missionary couple. The University relocated to Nairobi Kenya in 1974 and was granted a charter as an accredited university in 1994.

Academic Highlights The University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research.

Others include the Associate Dean for Students Affairs, the Chaplain, Assistant Chaplains, the Sports and Recreation Officer, Student Counsellors and the Resident Tutors. The Department coordinates and facilitates all aspects of student life outside the classroom. The objective is that every student will grow up in every way into Him who is the head, that is Christ (Ephesians 4:15), physically, spiritually, socially, ethically, and vocationally. Student life at Daystar University is designed to complement the academic learning, so as to produce Christian servant leaders who will make a difference at all levels of society. 1. Chaplaincy a) Chapels Chapels are held twice a week. On Tuesdays, Students and Staff meet for Chapel whereas on Thursdays they attend small group bible study. Evening students have their chapel on fridays. The attendance is required of both staff and students. It is an essential part of their regular weekly schedule and includes a variety of worship styles, musical programmes, bible studies, speakers, and drama. Chapel is the one activity in which the entire community gathers together for worship and fellowship on a regular basis. community, the Bible requires us to be our brother s keeper. Therefore, every member of the Daystar University Community is expected to be sensitive to the needs of others around them. 2. Daystar University Students Association (DUSA) Daystar University Students Association (DUSA) is the recognised student organisation within the University. Every Daystar student is automatically a member of DUSA. The DUSA Executive Committee, is democratically elected by the student body during the month of April every year, which is responsible for running DUSA affairs. DUSA has the following sub committees: Academic Affairs, Social Welfare, Sports and Recreation, Clubs and Associations, International Students Association and Post Graduate Committee. In addition, under the auspices of the DUSA, many students clubs and associations offer opportunities for involvement. They include: AIESEC, Drama, Environmental Conservation, French, Marketing, Accounting, Communication, Community Development, Wildlife, Debating and Current Affairs and Daystar University Students in Free Enterprise. The key link person for DUSA activities is the Associate Dean for Students Affairs. All staff and students of Daystar University are individually expected to be members of a church in which they worship and fellowship regularly. As a vital part of spiritual growth, they are also encouraged to serve the Lord in an active way through the programmes of their respective churches. In addition, the Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF), sends out numerous student ministry teams to reach out beyond the campuses with evangelistic outreaches, ministry among street children, and many other ministry opportunities. In addition to the above, the University organises weekly spiritual activities as given here below: b) Small Groups The Chaplaincy organises small groups to which every staff and student is assigned. The small groups meet once a week for prayer and Bible study. The main goal of the small group meetings is to provide a forum for spiritual growth. c) Counselling The University Chaplain, the Assistant Chaplains, the Student Counsellors and other staff and faculty, are available to counsel students in such areas as adjustment to life at Daystar University, spiritual development, resolving personal problems, and making major life decisions. In addition a large number of students have been trained as peer counsellors. As a Christian 1

3. Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF) Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF) is a student-led group under the University Chaplaincy. The group has about 14 subcommittees where students develop their talents and nourish their faith through various activities e.g. singing, dancing, drama, missions among others. 4. Doulos Doulos is a servant leadership programme at Daystar that derives its name from Mark 10:45 and 2Cor 4:5, which means slave or servant in Greek. The programme strives to help the university achieve its mission of training servant leaders for Africa by using tools of adventure, service and community in displaying the love of Christ for all mankind and with equiping the students with a heart to serve as they become leaders in various sectors of their careers. 5. Student Counselling Their main duty is counselling students on all issues. The Office exists in part to advocate for special concerns of international students, raise and maintain international awareness within Daystar University, and promote spiritual, social and career development among international students. The Office also oversees orientation programme for new students and works closely with the International Students Association of Daystar University (ISADU). 6. Students Sports & Recreation Office The Sports and Recreation Office coordinates intramural sports as well as team sports and games throughout the academic year. Existing sports and recreation activities include team sports, individual sports, board games and other outdoor activities. Daystar University teams compete in the Kenya Universities Sports Association (KUSA), the Nairobi Fellowship of Theological Colleges (NFTC), Nairobi Basketball Association and in other organized institutional sports. 2

Finance & Administration 1. Financial Information Tuition Fees and Charges Daystar University tuition and other charges are modest, especially when compared to the costs at other universities in Africa, Europe and North America offering similar programmes. The University keeps costs low through gifts from individuals, churches and other Christian organizations, which assist in the University s capital development. The tuition income is used to meet the annual operational budget. Fees Payment All fees for each semester are payable in advance or before the date of registration by bankers cheque or direct bank deposit. The University does not accept cash payments or money orders. In order to assist sponsors who cannot raise full fees, the University allows payment of tuition and hostel fees in four equal monthly instalments from the first day of the semester. Sponsors wishing to pay the fees by instalments must apply to the Finance Manager before the semester begins. Refunds In some cases for valid reasons acceptable to the University, a student who drops a course may be refunded 100% in the first week; 90% in the second week; and none thereafter. No refund is allowed for a course in the May semester unless a claim for such a refund is made before the commencement of the course. However, in cases of pressing personal emergencies or illnesses which require such a drop of course, the student may petition to the School Board, through its Dean, for a refund. Each case will be discussed independently. Room and board charges are for the whole semester and no refund will be made for a student leaving the hostel after the semester has started. Allowances Parents or sponsors are advised to remit living costs and other allowances for personal use directly to the students. Students from outside Kenya need to secure funds for their entire study period at Daystar before coming to Nairobi. This should include enough funds to pay for their return travel back to their countries at the end of the study period. Campus Accommodation Students living in the University hostels are expected to provide their own bedding (blankets, linens, bedcover, towels, pillowcases, etc.) as well as bath and laundry items. Students living in the rented University self-catering hostels are jointly responsible for the cleanliness of the entire facility and payments for water, electricity and gas usage. They also have to provide cooking utensils and cutlery. Off-Campus Accommodation Married students who wish to bring along their families are advised to locate off-campus accommodation before bringing their families to Nairobi. The cost of a one-bedroom apartment varies between Kshs. 4,000 and 12,000 per month, depending on location and the kind of house. Further, such accommodation is available only in Athi River town or in Nairobi. 3

B) Student Financial Aid 1) Work Study Programme The University is keenly aware that there are many qualified deeply committed Christian students from poor families. It therefore deliberately raises scholarship funds for needy students. The University has set up a Work Study programme to which it contributes a percentage of the tuition fees income every year. The University also raises funds from churches, foundations and individuals in order to help the many poor students. In January semester of the academic year, applications for Daystar Work Study scholarships are invited from needy students through the Financial Aid Office. Scholarship awards are given according to the following guidelines: 1. Daystar scholarships cover about one half (1/2) of the annual tuition fees. The student must procure additional funding from family, friends, employer, church, or private sources. 2. A student receiving Daystar scholarship is required to work ten (10) hours every week on jobs assigned by the University. 3. Daystar scholarships are not available to first year students. Only in very exceptional cases will consideration be given to first year applicants. 4. The following conditions are used to determine scholarship awards: (a) assessed level of poverty; (e) enrolment in a full-time study programme; (b) depth of Christian commitment; (f) nearness to completion of course; (c) a clear Christian behavioural pattern; (g) the spread of Christianity in home area; (d) a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.50; (h) the student must have applied for a HELB loan if eligible. 2) Other Scholarships and Awards i. Work Study A number of scholarships are available that cover 75% of the tuition, room and board charges. These are based on demonstrated need and the conditions for Work Study apply. In exceptional cases a few 100% scholarships are available. Again the conditions for Work Study apply. ii. Academic Merit Scholarship Every year Daystar University offers an academic merit scholarship to the best student admitted to the undergraduate programme with the highest academic grade A or A- (minus) in KCSE or equivalent. The scholarship covers tuition for four academic years if the student maintains a Cum G.P.A of 3.50. iii. Edith Locklin Berry Memorial Scholarship The Edith Locklin Berry Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by the Berry Family to assist needy female Post-graduate students. Edith Berry completed the M.A. degree and joined the faculty of Daystar University shortly before she died in 1990. Applicants for the scholarship must: be full time female student in the Post-graduate programme or in the third year and above of the undergraduate programme; be of godly character and able to articulate her personal relationship with Jesus Christ; have proven financial need; have achieved a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.30; have a clearly articulated concern to help other women in her home area by the application of her studies at Daystar University. iv. Book Award This is awarded to six returning undergraduate students, two representing each intake group, who attain the highest cumulative GPA in an academic year. The award amounting to Kshs 20,000 covers the textbook allowance for that academic year. It only applies to undergraduates. v. Non-Daystar Scholarships A number of students come to Daystar University with their own scholarships. Such students are advised to report to the Students Revenue Accountant in the Finance Department. The students will be required to provide the Revenue Accountant with details of their scholarships through a commitment letter from their sponsors stating what the scholarship covers and the duration of the scholarship. Students with sponsors in the USA and Canada are advised to have their funds sent through the Daystar offices in the USA. Money from other parts of the world should be sent to the Daystar University account by direct bank transfer. This ensures that money is not lost in the international mail scam. The University does not recommend cheques being sent by mail. 6

2. Administration The Administration Section provides institutional support services in the areas of food, health, transport, bookstore, security, and maintenance of the physical facilities of the University. 1. Bookshop Services The University has an outsourced bookshop on each campus. The bookstore provides stationery supplies, textbooks, photocopying and mail services. A student can buy textbooks either by paying cash or charging the pre-paid textbook allowance card. The Textbook allowance can be paid together with other fees at the beginning of the semester and the student is issued with a card by the Finance Department.

g) Staff Exchange Programme Visiting professors and senior administrative staff from reputable universities in the USA and other parts of the world come to Daystar University for varying periods of time. Such staff spend their sabbatical leave teaching or doing research at Daystar. Senior administrative staff visit Daystar University and spend time working alongside their counterparts in such areas as the Library or in the Office of Admissions and Records. These professionals bring into Daystar University experiences that enrich and enhance our institutional programmes. As opportunities arise, both academic and senior administrative staff from Daystar University go to institutions in other parts of the world for similar exposure in teaching, research, or other experiential engagements. The experiences gained by our staff are seen as a very important aspect of their professional development. 11. Library & Resource Centre Services Daystar University has a library in each of its three campuses in Nairobi, Athi River and Mombasa.

Computer Laboratories The Computer Department within the Academic Division operates eight computer laboratories in Athi River campus, Nairobi campus and Mombasa campus All campuses have Internet access. 12. elearning Centre The elearning Centre at Daystar University is responsible for spearheading a spectrum of elearning activities, in response to the dynamic learning needs of today s egeneration students. These activities range from development and deployment of elearning resources for blended-learning mode (the combination of face-to-face and elearning practices), to fully-online elearning mode. The aim is to optimise the efficacy of the teaching-and-learning process, in today s digital era: (i) by providing flexible offerings of teachingand-learning modes; and (ii) by enabling online learning possibilities that extend the learning process beyond conventional classroom-based teaching. As such, Daystar s elearning Centre continues to make rapid progress in terms of research and development of elearning solutions in anticipation of the dynamic learning needs of emerging egeneration students. If we have to attract and retain this genre of students in our university, we are challenged to incorporate aspects of ICT and elearning approach as the preferred medium of teaching-and-learning; pertinent to communication behaviour of today s generation of students. Towards this end, we are committed towards working with individual lecturers to develop and deploy viable elearning resources to enrich our students learning experience. Conceivably, this process is intended to empower individual lecturers, as well as help them to acquire vital elearning skills necessary in the new field of development of elearning resources, as well as deployment of interactive, immersive and engaging multimedia-based digital content; specifically, targeting an increasingly technically-savvy egeneration students. 13. Science Building The new science building located just beyond the BCC building in Athi River Campus was dedicated on 18 September 2006.

Goals of Daystar s Academic Programmes Characteristic of Daystar s programmes is a continual striving for excellence in all things. The nine goals of Daystar s academic programmes are as follows: a. Spiritual development is predicated on faith in and commitment to Jesus Christ. Full spiritual maturity is contingent upon a relation-ship to the Christian community and adoption of a dynamic world and life view. Such spiritual growth fosters a distinctive value system that covers the spectrum of individual and social experiences. These commitments call one to involvement in the world, in ways that affect wholeness in self and others. These concerns find expression in Christian life-goals, in accountable stewardship of talents and resources, and in responsible care of the earth. b. Intellectual development begins with recognition of the importance and worth of mental activity. Intellectual growth is marked by an appreciation of clear and creative thinking and a capacity for theoretical thought. Intellectually developed people have a broad understanding of ideas in the world, an awareness of the contemporary situation and a deeper, more detailed knowledge of one specific area of thought. They are capable of making relationships between specific categories. Such people are curious, engage in continuing research and form thoughtful conclusions. c. While the years of university study are important in and of themselves, they must also provide preparation for later life. Career development involves the investigation of career options and development of a personal career plan. Staff members, along with other professionals in career development, should provide such resources. The Daystar University curriculum prepares students to enter a career after graduation or to continue their education at postgraduate or professional levels. d. The learner is at the centre of the education process. Ultimately, this process must promote personal development which in essence is the development of a mature and well-rounded individual who displays a healthy sense of relationship to creation and the Creator. e. Daystar s academic programmes are intended to offer to the increasing number of qualified secondary school graduates and mature Christians, a Christian alternative for higher education. Such education will have a Christian foundation, a moral base and excellent quality, and is intended for Christians who will become leaders whether in church, government or industry. f. Daystar offers a programme that is broad based, but with clearly defined majors and minors. A major represents a student s main subject of study, whereas a minor represents a secondary subject. The student s major will always carry more hours than the minor. A student in certain majors can decide to take electives instead of a minor. g. Africa is a continent of many cultures and languages. It is therefore absolutely essential that students are encouraged to develop a deep understanding of traditional Africa and modern Africa if they are to play an effective role in the spiritual, social and economic transformation of the continent. Therefore, Daystar programmes are distinctly African in context. At the same time, they provide a platform from which a student can understand and relate to other cultures. h. Another positive feature of the programmes is the focus on Africa. African cultures, traditions, nations and religions are studied in detail. Western and Eastern cultures are also examined because contemporary African society has been intertwined with them. i. The programmes are practical and oriented to field experience in conditions very similar to those students will encounter at the conclusion of the degree programme. For that reason, courses are focused on clear application to the contemporary situation in Africa. 13

Registration All students are expected to pre-register for their next semester courses at a period of time designated by the university. Each student should seek clearance to take particular courses from their advisors before they can pre-register. On receiving an invoice of registration, students should ensure that they take their invoices to the finance department for registration clearance. Students should note that it is only when their invoices are stamped by the finance department that they are considered to have been registered for their courses. This should be done within the period of time designated for registration by the university, failure to which the student will not be considered registered for the semester. Students who do not meet the registration requirements in the period designated by the university should not go on attending classes and are advised to register in the following semester. In addition, such a student should not attempt to take the university s examinations and will not receive grades for any course that semester. Students are advised to follow the registration requirements in order to avoid any embarrassment caused to themselves. 7. Registration Queries Students are expected to register in person on a day and time designated for a specific semester. A registration schedule is included in the University calendar in this Catalogue. An add/drop period of two weeks is permitted from the day returning students arrive, for the students who are attending classes. However, during the June semester, add/drop is done in one week. A late registration fee of Kshs 300 will be charged after the two days of registration queries. An additional Kshs 50 will be charged for each additional day late, till the last working day of the second week. That fee must be paid in cash by the student. Students are responsible for seeing that they complete their registration process for each semester, failure to which the student will receive no credit hours for the semester. Classes will start on the first Monday when returning students report. 8. Academic Discontinuation A diploma or undergraduate student who obtains a Cumulative GPA of less than 2.00 four times will be discontinued from his/her programme of study immediately. i) Class Attendance It is assumed that students will make the most of the educational opportunities available to them by regularly and punctually attending all class sessions. Students who miss 25% or more of class sessions will receive no credit (E grade) for the course. If a student must be absent from classes for a very good reason, he/she must fill absence-from-class forms which are obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records or University website,. ii) Auditing of Courses (AU) A student may audit any course of his/her programme in this catalogue, so long as his/her presence as an auditing student follows the rule on pre-requisite and does not displace someone taking the course for credit. Enrolling for audit permits one to attend lectures and to participate in various class activities, though no academic credit is earned for the experience. The lecturer may mark assignments submitted by the auditing student but is not obligated to do so. Those not already admitted to the programme can only audit courses if they satisfy the admission requirements. A half of the normal fee for the course is paid for any course that is audited. k) Course Numbering Each course carries a three letter prefix and a three digit number. The letter prefix indicates the subject area in which the course is taught. NOTE: CHM indicates the course is a Christian Ministries course, while the number indicates the level at which the course is taught. Thus a 100 level course would be designated for first year students. Some 500 level courses may appear for undergraduate programme requiring a fifth year, or for courses limited to fourth or fifth year undergraduate students. Courses at 600 level are for postgraduate students only and 800 level are for PhD students only. For Diploma, ICC indicates Core Courses; ICM indicates counselling; ICO indicates Communication; MNG indicates Management; IMD indicates Development and IMU indicates Music. It is possible for a student to enroll in a course numbered for one s own year of study or for one year advanced if one does not have enough load for his/her level, but no undergraduate student may enroll in post-graduate or diploma courses to fulfill graduation requirements for the undergraduate degree programme. Likewise no Diploma student will enroll in undergraduate or certificate courses to fulfil graduation requirements for the diploma as no Postgraduate student will enroll in undergraduate course to fulfil graduation requirements for postgraduate degree. 18

l) Withdrawal If a student must, for some personal emergency, withdraw from a course after the deadline as specified above for routine changes has expired, he may do so only as long as two thirds (2/3) of the semester time has not passed, but the student s transcript will show their performance.

If a student fails a course (that is gets an F grade) and retakes the course, the F grade will remain on the transcript but will not carry any value. The student will be given the grade received after re-taking the course. Other grades that a student may find in his/her transcript include: AU Audit I F E R S T W WS WP WF WT X Y Z The student attends class but no grade is given. Incomplete : when the lack of a grade is not the fault of the student. Grade F is assigned when the student attempted all the work but did not achieve satisfactory marks.

DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY & BIBLICAL STUDIES UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME Bachelor of Arts in Biblical & Religious Studies The growing number of of Christians in Africa has out paced the leadership capacity in Churches and Christian Organizations. The Bible major exists to meet that need by providing training, primarily in biblical studies, for those involved in Christian ministry, for those preparing for further training at the masters level, for those preparing to teach Christian Religious Education in secondary schools, and for those preparing for work outside of professional Christian ministry but who desire a firm biblical background. The programme also requires studies in church history, world religions, and ethics so that students may think intelligently about their faith in the context of its history, the religious world around it, and its application to contemporary issues.

These include, without being limited to: 1. The influence of urbanization. 2. The more educated and modernized church member. 3. The false teaching and doctrinal heresies propagated in some churches. 4. The new phenomena of mega churches and their unique needs. 5. The social political and social economic challenges that face Christians today. There are more Christians and churches in Africa than ever before. The existing churches are growing even larger in terms of membership. Yet many of the pastors are not adequately trained to address such changes. The Bachelor of Theology degree programme at Daystar University will provide the specialized training needed for those preparing for pastoral ministry for church related work (chaplains, counsellors, youth pastors), to be scholars / theologians or for those preparing for further training in pastoral ministry for example Master of Divinity degree.

institutions that offer the same degree because the liberal arts programme will provide students with a broad-based knowledge of the world around them through the required General Education courses. The training will be practical and interdenominational because most of the faculty in the Biblical & Religious Studies department are either pastors or leaders in a variety of local churches. The programme will also be unique because of the institution s accreditation status and because the programme is designed to train, not just pastors, but also scholars / theologians. As society moves into the post-modern age, Christianity in Africa is leading the way in preserving the spiritual dimension of the human being, which the North has nearly lost to the age of science and reason. God is still very much alive in Africa. Most Christians in Africa believe the Bible is the authoritative Word of God, respect it and follow it. In the last 100 years the church has grown faster in Africa than anywhere else in the world. As a consequence, the shift of the centre of gravity of Christianity seems to be moving from North to South. African theologians are now faced with the monumental task of carrying the theological mantle and have only just begun to scratch the surface in discovering their deep theological and philosophical roots. Trained theologians are needed now, more than ever before, to fulfil this urgent mission. The B.Th. programme will contain a solid core of required courses in both academic and professional subjects, as well as an internship supervised by a full time pastor. Admission Requirements Applicants seeking admission into the programme must satisfy the following: be born-again Christians be proficient in the English language, and satisfy any of the following minimum requirements: Direct entrants: Be a holder of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) with a minimum aggregate of C+ (Plus) or its equivalent Examination Certificate. In addition, a prospective applicant must have obtained a B-(minus) in either History or Christian Religious Education (CRE) in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education or its Equivalent Examination Certificate. Mature entrants: Must be 23 years of age on the 1st of January of the year in which admission is sought. Graduates of Daystar Diploma or Pre-University programme who have attained a GPA of 2.50 in a scale of 4.0 Student Assessment Policy Students will be assessed through continuous assessment tests accounting for 30% of the final grade. Students will take an End-of-Semester Examination accounting for 70% of the final grade.

Students will also be required to undertake a supervised internship whose grading will consist of 60% awarded for a written report and 40% for field evaluation.

POSTGRADUATE Programme Master of Arts in Christian Ministries The MA in Christian Ministries is a two year, 48 credit hour programme, designed to train and equip Christian leaders for ministries both within and beyond the church. Though many of our students are in full time ministry as pastors or lay leaders, a number of students come from business, media and administrative contexts. Recent Christian Ministries graduates are serving as Deans of Universities, General Secretaries and Directors of NGOs, Community Developers, Educators and Counsellors, as well as serving full time in church or para-church ministries. Rationale It is the purpose of the postgraduate curriculum in Christian Ministries to advance the Kingdom of God through training of effective leaders for church outreach ministries of various kinds. Building on prior training and experience of students in Bible, theology, practical ministry of various forms, and other relevant disciplines, the programme prepares students for effective service as Christian leaders in church, para-church organizations, and society at large. The programme also prepares students for further academic training at higher levels. Objectives 1. To equip African Christians, both clergy and lay leaders, for ministry leadership and management, whether within the church or society at large; 2. To equip Christian leaders with knowledge and skills to effectively serve within the dynamics of the rural-urban field unique to the African setting; 3. To enable Christian leaders to think theologically and critically on issues facing the African church, society and individual communities and Christians; 4. To prepare Christian leaders to serve in holistic ministries within their communities, addressing spiritual, physical and social realities. 5. To enable Christian leaders to work across ethnic and ecclesiastical divides, to work towards reconciliation and cooperation among the diversity within the national, regional and global Body of Christ, towards the large purposes of God s Kingdom, while at the same time, appreciating uniqueness in the local church; 6. To enable Christian leaders to train others in discipleship and leadership, to inculcate the holistic Kingdom world view transforming the Church and the society; 7. To prepare Christian leaders to engage in relevant quality research and publication from the African context contributing to local contextual efforts as well as to global forums. Special Regulations Proposal on Non-Performing M.A. Students All studentsof Postgraduate Studies at Daystar University are expected to maintain a 3.00 cum GPA in order to remain on the programme. The current policy on probation and discontinuation does not indicate at what point students who are unable to attain this grade point should be discontinued. The Faculty aims to provide timely assistance to such students so that they do not remain in the University indefinitely but are helped to disengage from their programmes of study as and when it is mandatory. The Faculty of Postgraduate Studies proposes the following guidelines for probation and discontinuation: 1. Postgraduate Diploma programs should be developed for students who fail to attain 3.00 cum GPA for all the postgraduate programmes. 2. Postgraduate students who wish to improve their grades can retake four courses. 3. The following should be the process of probation/discontinuation for Faculty of Postgraduate Studies: a. A warning letter (AW) should be issued to a student whose semester GPA is below 3.00 GPA. b. A letter of first probation should be issued to a student who has received a warning letter and whose cum GPA is below 3.00 after he or she has attempted or earned 12 semester hours. c. For (a) and (b), HODs should counsel the students and inform them of the consequences of their non-performance. d. A second letter of probation should be issued by the Registrar s office to a student whose cum GPA is below 3.00 and who has received a warning letter and a first letter of probation. e. After a third letter of probation, a student will be issued a letter of discontinuation. Student Assessment 1. In some courses, where development of skills is the objective, the final examination and other assignments will include, or be limited to, elements which require demonstration of the skills taught. 2. Final marks in postgraduate courses will be derived as follows, depending on the type of course: 3. Grades for courses that are primarily conceptual in content are based on 40% on the final examination score and 60% on combined score for continuous assessment items. 4. Marks for courses that are both conceptual in content and require development of skills are derived 60% from the final examination and 40% from continuous assessment items 5. Grades for Independent study courses and thesis are based entirely on the final paper (and the oral examination with it, in the case of a thesis) 6. 43

Master OF THEOLOGY (M.Th) IN AFRICAN CHRISTIANITY Rationale The M.Th in African Christianity is a two-year, 48 credit hour programme that is designed to provide relevant theological training for Christian leaders in the African Church and society. Since Africa is now acknowledged to be a heartland of the gospel and a central zone of theological activity in the world, the program focuses on the serious study of African Christianity. In particular, it examines theological issues arising in African contexts, and explores the ongoing formulation of African theologies that address such issues. However, given the local and the global dimensions of theology, the program examines African Christianity in relation to the worldwide development of Christian tradition, both past and present. The program is therefore relevant for theological educators in formal and informal (e.g., TEE) settings, for those in pastoral ministries within church and para-church organizations, and those in Christian NGO and development agencies. Objectives The objectives of the M.Th in African Christianity are to enable students: 1. To understand and express the substance of contemporary African Christianity in relation to the historical and theological development of Christian tradition worldwide 2. To become thoroughly grounded in the history of Christianity in Africa, including missionary proclamations of the gospel and African initiatives in evangelism and church growth 3. To identify, and discuss leading theologians in Africa (both ancient and modern) 4. To identify and evaluate major theological trends across the continent 5. To discern and critique various theological methodologies employed in African theologies 6. To demonstrate serious engagement in contextual theology through one of the following means: 6.1. Researching and writing a thesis of publishable quality, or 6.2.

The student must orally defend the research thesis or ministry project before a panel of at least three postgraduate faculty appointed by the Chair of Postgraduate Studies, and pass with a grade of B or above (grade to be determined by the committee). A copy of the thesis or ministry project, with final corrections completed, must be deposited within the department 90 days after a successful defence and before graduation. TEO 698: Academic Thesis 6 Credits The M.Th. thesis requires students to conduct in depth theological research, normally integrating library and field research, on an issue related to their own context of ministry or vocation.

The Chair of Postgraduate Studies may assign an additional supervisor beyond the University, provided the relevant qualifications and experience are demonstrated. All aspects of the academic thesis, including the research proposal, implementation and thesis writing, must be in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Daystar University Postgraduate Student Handbook. Any students considering entrance into a doctoral program or an academic career are strongly advised to complete the academic thesis. 50

TEO 607: Practicum The precise content of the practicum will depend upon the student s placement. The student will spend 150 hours within one semester (or two blocks) working and learning in a specific assignment on location, in an area of interest related to theology. He or she will be actively involved in the tasks of theological ministry, not merely observing the operations, nor merely in clerical tasks. The ideal practicum will expose the student to daily tasks, organizational processes and procedures, and overall philosophies of operation. The practicum is not to be another classroom exercise, but is to be hands-on involvement, to apply classroom learning and to gain practical knowledge and experience. TEO 609: Ministry Project Building upon TEO 607, the student will select on theological issue encountered in the practicum experience. He or she will then design and complete a ministry project that addresses the issue by integrating biblical and theological reflection with experiential knowledge gained through the practicum. The project may take the form of an in-depth research and reflection paper (50-60 pages), or the production of ministry materials that will address a specific need in relation to the theological issue (e.g. an educational curriculum, a series of Bible studies, a sermon series, a small booklet). If the student chooses the latter, he or she must submit the ministry materials and a scholarly report (15-20 pages) outlining the background and nature of the theological issue, the purpose, objectives and significance of the ministry materials, the methods used to produce them and an evaluation of the materials according to the objectives set. 51

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME BACHELOR OF EDUCATION DEGREE (ARTS/SCIENCE) Rationale of the Programme The Kenya government spells out the major role of university education in developing the relevant human capital to drive the counties, national, regional and global educational sectors. Kenya National goals of education, Kenya Vision 2030, University Council of East Africa and UNESCO emphasize the great role of education in economic growth. This poses a challenge to universities to train and equip teachers with relevant knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that make them competent to teach at all levels of education (national, regional and international) with a view to responding to the demand for secondary education as evidenced by increase in enrolment in schools and establishment of many secondary schools. In addition, the need to upgrade oneself as a means of improving ones upward mobility has stretched the demand for professionally trained teachers in secondary and tertiary institutions locally, regionally and globally. The programme intends to train teachers who are moral, ethical, creative, innovative, competent and accountable. It also aims at providing an opportunity for self development in relation to career and life-long learning. The B.Ed programme is committed to inculcating Christian values through integration of faith and learning. This is in an effort to rid the African continent of such evils as corruption, greed, crime, moral decadence and violence. In addition, there is a growing number of Christian schools which require teachers who can integrate their Christian faith with their profession. Overall Goals of the Programme The B.Ed aims at training professionally qualified teachers who are competent and skilful enough to teach and provide effective servant leadership and management at all levels of education in private, corporate and public service. The programme focuses on building a broad foundation of theoretical and professional knowledge in education while on the other hand, focusing on concepts, skills and knowledge in specific disciplines. It is hoped that the programme products can impact their students, communities and churches with positive moral and spiritual values. Besides the core disciplines, the learner can select a study area from a host of electives which may suit their desired career pathways. Further, the programme aspires to provide holistic quality education as well as offer service to the student teacher. It also seeks to equip the student teacher with relevant teaching skills needed in designing and implementation of programmes that meet the individual, professional, institutional, county, national and global educational needs today and in the near future. Programme Learning Outcomes By the end of the programme, the learner should be able to: 1. Apply curriculum theory and the teaching pedagogy to design, develop, implement and evaluate curricula for school classes, institutions and nations 2. Interpret, implement, and evaluate curriculum in the learning environment for various levels of school systems 3. Plan, utilize and manage resources in learning institutions. 4. Develop and implement appropriate visions, missions, plans and management strategies for schools 5. Identify and evaluate the various foundations of Education. 6.

POSTGRADUATE Programme POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION (PGDE) Rationale There is an increasing number of untrained graduate teachers teaching in schools on temporary terms. These teachers work for less pay without pension because they are not trained. Their need to acquire and be equipped with effective skills to communicate knowledge underscores the importance of a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. The purpose of the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) is to train university graduates currently employed as untrained graduate teachers. Such training will equip them with the needed professional qualifications and expertise necessary to successfully carry out their responsibilities as teachers or managers in various fields of education. The Postgraduate Diploma in Education is a one-year intensive programme primarily designed to give untrained graduate teachers skills to carry out their instruction with a Christian commitment. The programme will be conducted for two separate groups: The first group consists of teachers who will take the programme during the school holiday periods of April, August, and December. These months are chosen because they are normally vacation months for schools in Kenya and teachers from any part of the country will be able to attend the course. The second group consists of teachers within Nairobi who prefer to pursue their studies in the evenings and on weekends and on e-learning mode. The programme will then spread over a year and will be part of Daystar University Continuing Education programme. Expected Learning Outcomes By the end of the course the learner should be able to: 1. Use the acquired critical knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to function as professional Christian teachers in contemporary African schools. 2. Apply relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes to handle different aspects of teaching/learning efficiently and effectively. 3. Integrate their Christian faith with intellectual and professional capacity in their teaching profession in the context of the diverse and transformed African cultural heritage. 4. Effectively apply principles of servant leadership at different managerial levels of the education systems in contemporary Africa. 5. Acquire professional qualifications for higher studies or responsibilities in the field of education. Regulations Admission Requirements Applicants must be holders of at least a Bachelor s degree from a recognized University or its equivalent where English was the main language of instruction.

This is happening at particular Asia, is developing rapidly while many African countries appear to be sliding back into forth World. Economic growths as well as income per capital are quite low and majority of citizens still live below the poverty line. Real earnings and purchasing power are low, unemployment and underdevelopment are high, hunger and famine are endemic causing many to depend on food aid. Despite the negative aspect there is still hope that African countries can emulate Asia and develop. This can be done in many ways such as good governance political stability and empowerment economically. The situation of unemployment in Kenya is very serious. Every year both the public and private universities release about 13,000 graduates into the labour market. Polytechnics and other tertiary institution, secondary schools and primary school release some more into the same labour market as well. According to the Government of Kenya Central Bureau of Statistics, more than half a million young people each and every year join this large labour market looking for jobs. The exact number of unemployed in this country remains unknown. This figure of more than 500,000 young people pouring into the labour market annually forms the formidable potential market for this diploma in Entepreneurship. The dismal performance of many African Economies for many years now has resulted in massive unemployment amongst a majority of the population. Worst hit have been the majority of the youth who despite good education and training remain unemployed, dependant, miserable and hopeless. The situation has been worsened by sudden and growing infux of retrenches who despite having retrenchment benefits often do not know how or where to invest viably. Daystar University hopes to contribute to Africa s development through entrepreneurship training. Our Diploma in entrepreneurship graduates will be ale to holistically to apply the management skills of traditional business disciplines to the recognition and shaping of entrepreneurial opportunities. They will develop business models that make use of those opportunities in ways that create value, thereby becoming wealth and employment creators.

Every organization is keen about its financial matters. Ordinary people have also been intrigued with the area of finance. In Kenya there has been a growing interest in finance and investments. It is true that a person cannot invest their money well without first understanding how finance is handled and how the finance and money markets operate. Organizations are now also involved in investments in a bigger way than before.

With this growing tendency to invest, it has now become imperative that people be educated in finance. It is with this in mind that this new diploma is being developed. The Finance diploma will equip the individual to be more skilled in handling financial matters. Fraud is today at high levels leading to the collapse of organizations. Anti money laundering and other practices have created a crisis in financial management. Organizations are in dire need of help to arrest these cases and the Finance Diploma will appropriately equip the student to manage the financial resources of an organization.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME COMMUNICATION MAJOR Rationale The Communication major curriculum is designed to equip students with foundational knowledge of concepts and practice of communication to enable graduates of the programme to effectively serve society in a variety of roles.

Specifically, the goals of the Communication major are to: 1. give students a foundational and biblically-derived understanding of theory and practice in communication study at interpersonal, group, intercultural and mass communication levels; 2. provide students with a menu of courses which leads to a guided focus and in-depth study of at least one area of communication; 3. prepare students to apply communication principles and skills in church, business, government and social settings; 4. prepare students to assist others in various church and community settings to recognize and apply the principles and concepts of effective communication to address specific problems be they individual, communal, institutional or organizational; and 5. prepare students for further study in communication.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN COMMUNICATION Rationale Communication technologies in Africa in the 21st century are impacting society and the Church. While Daystar University will continue to provide, with other Christians, academic leadership to the church in Africa so as to address through research, education, and consultation, the economic, social, political, post-colonial, and conflict communication challenges of African societies and those issues unique to the church of Christ, the Ph.D. in Communication seeks to provide further education for aspiring servant leaders desiring to integrate their Christian faith with their communication skills, creative abilities and knowledge of communication and the arts in an African context. Our programme seeks to equip our graduates on two levels: intellectual and spiritual. On the intellectual front, we aspire to instil within the framework of African values the following qualities in our graduates: critical and creative thinking skills; confidence to commit to African ideas and values; an understanding of the larger context in which they live; opportunity to develop competence to compete in academic, corporate, and governmental arenas. Spiritually, the programme seeks to enable graduates to do the following: know God through Christ as Saviour within an African context; develop an individual, authentic walk with Him; share that journey with others; find a purpose and a calling; and develop the skills to pursue that calling. Finally, in producing a network of Ph.D graduates, Daystar seeks to empower Christians with a powerful voice in our global society through, development and health communication channels, through corporate communication networks, through both print and electronic media, through media professionalism, teaching and academic scholarship. Admission Requirements Admission to the doctoral programme is limited to one intake annually, comprising a 5-10 member student cohort of candidates of exceptionally high competence and promise. All applicants must meet the entry requirements of the School of Communication, Languages & Performing Arts. Specifically, the students wishing to enter the Ph.D in Communication program must hold a Master s degree in Communication. The admission requirements normally include: Evidence of devotion to Christ and good standing with their churches as stipulated in Daystar University s Charter Section 5(1); A 3.00 (on 4.00 system) grade point average in Master of Arts in Communication with thesis or a Master of Arts in Communication without thesis but with at least two research-based papers published in refereed journals. For students whose medium of instruction is not English, and who have not earned an earlier degree at a college or university at which the teaching language is English, a score of 250 out of 300 (computer assisted)/ 500 out of 677 (manual) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required. Student Assessment A final examination will be administered at the end of each semester for some courses; the mark scored by the student will be added to those marks from continuous assessments to establish the student s final mark for a given course. Course grades for Communication Ph.D students will vary from course to course. The dissertation will be based 100% on assessment of complete work at defence, while the Professional Development and Service Learning will be based 100% on assessment on completed work at final submission. For each course the student is given a letter grade, which has the following significance: Marks Letter Grade Grade Point Average Significance 91 100 A 4.00 Superior 81 90 A- 3.70 76 80 B+ 3.30 Average 71 75 B 3.00 Below 71 Unacceptable for credit Duration of the Course/Examinations and Dissertation Defence The duration for the Ph. D in Communication program will be between three to four years of full-time study, including time for dissertation. The program will run on a semester basis, whereby a semester will run for 15 weeks (13 weeks of classwork and 2 weeks of examinations) The program will operate a credit system where one credit hour is equivalent to one lecture hour per week. All requirements must be completed within eight-year limit from the time of a student s first enrolment in the program. For one to start the dissertation, one will be expected to pass the comprehensive examination. Coursework The coursework will consist of 39 credit hours which include 8 hours of general education core courses, 10 hours of statistics and research methods courses, 6 hours of core communication courses, 12 hours of communication elective courses and 3 hours of a professional development course.

INSTITUTE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT POSTGRADUTAE PROGRAMME MASTER OF ARTS IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT Rationale Africa has a rapidly growing number of vulnerable children facing multiple violations of their rights. Many of these children suffer hunger, ill health, violence, neglect, lack of access to education and opportunities for play. They also have little chance of a successful and happy future and eternal life. An estimated 12 million children in Africa have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Many others are living in households with sick parents, guardians, and grandparents who are helping to care for them. Millions of African children are affected by conflict, war, famine and poverty. The total number of orphaned children in sub-saharan Africa is more than 50 million today. All these have interrupted the growth and development of children. Although African governments have the responsibility to care for these children, too often, they do not do it to satisfactory levels. For centuries, communities in Africa have helped their needy members in crisis. Today, the traditional social system where the extended family took care of their children is dying or has died. Consequently, many children are forgotten and are in deep trouble. The traditional support can no longer be relied on. As a response, community members and organizations are coming together to assist children and their families with various kinds of assistance including parenting, protection, psychosocial and spiritual support, and material assistance. However, these groups and organizations require assistance to effectively care for the children. They require support to deliver the best responses, reaching the most vulnerable children holistically and for eternity in a sustained way. The Child Development Programme is designed to carter for this need to equip professionals in the ministry to children that are currently supporting, or wishing to support children with the necessary knowledge and skills to impact positively into the lives of children. The programme curriculum is designed to promote the competence of professionals to respond to needs of children particularly those at risk as the first resort. This curriculum includes excellent courses that provide clear guidance and facilitation for community mobilization for supporting children; research in the identification of children needs; programming interventions, administration and leadership skills. Instruction in Child Development is grounded on the essential principles that are necessary when working with children. These include the following: 1. Child participation 2. Child protection 3. Provision of holistic services to children. Study objectives on child development, will do the following among other aspects: Identify key activities that a supporting organization should consider to enable the community to serve children well. Work with children as partners listening to them, engaging them and finding out their needs, interests and hopes, understand the challenges they face, identify and prioritize strategies to address these challenges Ensure that all organizational activities protect children from harm, become transparent and accountable to children Make realistic and manageable plans that benefit children Make the best use of available resources and successfully access additional resources to further the cause of children. Monitor and evaluate what is being done for children and see what impact interventions are making in their lives. Advocate for changes within the community and within national and international levels so that children s rights are realized. Improve students ability to communicate clearly both orally and in writing to professionals and to lay persons about psychological matters concerning children. Provide students with a clear understanding of the principles of child behavior; Enable the students to develop coping skills, self-acceptance, selfappreciation, positive self-image, self-esteem, self-dignity and appreciation of children despite their limitations. Enable the student to assume the responsibilities of a Christian professional whose main goal is commitment to bettering the contemporary society as God s steward, co-worker and an agent of change. Study Objectives for students on child development: 1. To equip students with knowledge, social and counseling skills in Child Development. 2. To identify developmental needs and changes among children and adolescents. 3. To identify various ways of handling the developmental needs and changes in children. 4. To explore ways through which student will integrate Christian faith and work among children and adolescents. 5. To equip students with skills in studying, research, and publication in the field of Child Development. 6. To equip students with facilitation skills that will assist them in carrying out participatory training on child development issues at the community level. 7. To impart skills to students on how to connect theories of child growth and development to social policy, education and intervention. 228

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT (PGDCD) Introduction Sub-Saharan Africa is currently faced with an ever-increasing number of children growing under difficult circumstances. Such children are the victims of a combination of several adverse human situations that include poverty, civil wars, and the HIV and AIDS pandemic. In the majority of cases, children born under any or some of these environmental situations in Africa are prone to suffer from one form of maladjustment, serious infection or some physical deprivation. Faced with the enormity of such life threatening situations, many African governments as well as non-governmental organizations have set up intervention programmes for restoring the lives of many affected children from the state of hopelessness and abnormal human growth and development. Notwithstanding the good intentions of the established children s programmes, many of the organizations lack qualified professional personnel to deal with child development issues. The postgraduate curriculum in Child Development is designed to equip individuals who work or wish to work with children who have lived under difficult circumstance with the requisite professional qualifications in Child Development. In this respect, while some of the courses stipulated in this program may appear similar in content to those offered in teacher training programs, the clientele for this particular curriculum are essentially managers of child rehabilitation programs in Africa. Programme Goals. The following are the major goals of this programme: 1. To equip the student with relevant knowledge on child and adolescent development with special emphasis on the African child growing under difficult circumstances. 2. To identify developmental needs and changes in children. 3. To analyze various ways of handling the developmental needs and changes in children. 4. To propose ways in which the student will integrate Christian faith and work among the children. 5. To equip the student with skills in studying, research, and publication in the field of child and adolescent development with particular focus on the African child living in difficult circumstances. 6. To equip the student with facilitation skills that will assist them in carrying out participatory training on child development issues at the community level. Admission Requirement: Entry requirements to the postgraduate diploma in child development shall be possession of an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution of higher learning.

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN SOCIAL WORK Rationale Social Work is the professional activity of helping individuals, groups, or communities enhance or restore their capacity for social functioning and creating societal conditions favorable to this goal. Social Work practice consists of the professional application of Social Work values, principles, and techniques to one or more of the following ends: helping people obtain tangible services; counseling and psychotherapy with individuals, families, and groups; helping communities or groups provide or improve processes. The practice of Social Work requires knowledge of human development and behavior; of social, economic, and cultural institutions; and of the interactions of all these factors. Social Work is concerned and involved with the interactions between people and the institutions of society that affect the ability of people to accomplish life tasks, realize aspirations and values, and alleviate distress. These interactions between people and social institutions occur within the context of the larger societal good. Therefore, three major purposes of social work may be identified: 1. to enhance the problem-solving, coping and developmental capacities of people; 2. to promote the effective and humane operation of the systems that provide people with resources and services; 3. to link people with systems that provide them with resources, services, and opportunities. 4. while Social Work is taught and practiced from many different philosophies, it is widely agreed that the profession emerged out of a Judeo-Christian commitment to ministering to those in need. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, according to James, involves caring for orphans and widows in their distress (1:27). Jesus relates judgment to the feeding of the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, clothing the naked, caring for the stranger, and visiting those in prisons. The social work profession, with its emphasis on values of service, dignity and worth of the individual, social and economic justice, competence, and integrity, particularly when presented from a Christian framework, fits well with the stated Christian philosophy of the university and its Biblical statement of faith and practice. 4. to teach students to identify multiple causes of problems and act as agents of social change in order to bring about inner peace, interpersonal reconciliation, and social justice. 5. to prepare students to work sensitively with diverse populations including people of various ages, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and income levels with special commitment to the needy and those who are at risk; 6. to instill in students a commitment to life-long learning, and provide preparation for graduate social work education, research and consultancy; 7. to provide a learning context that empowers students to think critically and integrate social work techniques with their Christian faith in a professionally sound manner; 8. to provide a stimulating and challenging educational experience that is personal, interactive, and responsive to students with faculty who are role models and professionals and Christians.

POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMME MASTER OF ARTS IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Rationale of the Programme The M.A. in Community Development has been developed based on the need to train a cadre of human resources that will work in diverse communities to bring about social transformation. This programme seeks to train the student in the science and art of mobilizing communities, identifying their felt needs, designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of community-based projects aimed to empower communities in developing countries. It recognises that people s desire is to overcome the many obstacles that prevent them from leading a fulfilled life regardless of their socioeconomic and political affiliations. The programme also gives credence to the promotion of intellectual and scholarly discourse in matters pertaining to development. It is also based on the premise that religious principles and values are fundamental in development. This programme believes that the development of communities is not only a Human Rights concern but most importantly a divine mandate. The total and complete transformation of communities is its ultimate goal. When communities are empowered, regions are made better (regional development) and thus when regions are developed national development is achieved and communities have their dignity restored or enhanced. It seeks to affirm that change must be people-oriented. The involvement of all communities in their own welfare is a major principle. Today, there is a widespread and unanimous belief that development cannot be authentic if it does not involve the target communities. It acknowledges that all communities desire change, aspire to be freed from their day to day limitations, and overcome the obstacles that prevent them from enjoying a fulfilled life. The programme also gives credence to the empowerment of all stakeholders involved in community development. High level training of manpower is rightly acknowledged and given emphasis. Partnerships, networking and collaboration are key in this programme. Kenya being a signatory to the Millennium Development Goals, the MA in Community Development will contribute to meeting these goals by providing the necessary technical and professional expertise. Besides, Community Development is still a new discipline in most countries today. There is need therefore to develop an MA programme that provides students graduating with a first degree an opportunity to further their studies. This will further prepare students to pursue doctoral studies in this discipline. The MA in Community Development Programme is practical and relevant to many socio-economic, cultural, environmental and political realities of communities. It is expected, that this programme will contribute to academic discourse and also broaden the knowledge base on community development which will in turn meaningfully contribute to the international debate on sustainable development. The MA programme in Community Development is unique because of its holistic approach which integrates Christian approaches to practical learning in development. Goal of the Programme The goal of this program is to equip students with knowledge and skills for a holistic approach to community development for social transformation. Programme Learning Outcomes By the end of the program the student will be able to: 1. evaluate and critique current development issues from a professional perspective, 2. conduct research aimed at expanding the body of knowledge of Community Development, 3. present/disseminate community development theories and practices from a Christian perspective, 4. provide professional service and consultancy to development agencies aimed at enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery, 5. examine factors that account for underdevelopment in developing countries, 6. explain factors that hinder development of developing countries and the actors involved in development processes Clientele The programme is designed for all parties interested in engaging in various dimensions of community work. The students will be drawn from: 1. church and para-church organisations; 2. development institutions committed to and involved in initiating change in society; 3. policy makers in public and private agencies; 4. bachelor s degrees holders desiring to advance their studies in this field. 251

Admission Requirements Qualifications for admission to the Master of Arts in Community Development are/will be: i) A Bachelor s or a higher degree in Community Development or related degrees from an accredited institution with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale) or second class honours, upper division or lower division with two years of relevant experience. ii) Applicants with a first degree in fields unrelated to development studies may be admitted but will be required to start with specified zero credit hours in community development.

Medium of Instruction and Programme Administration The medium of instruction for the Master of Arts Community Development shall be English. Students Assessment Policy Course grades will be derived as follows: a. Most of the courses in this programme require masterly, conceptualization, and appreciation of development approaches and practices, hence the continuous assessments are at 40% and final examination 60%. a. Any marks awarded with decimal points will be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example a student scoring 75.6% this will be rounded to 76%; 74.3% will be rounded to 74% Grading System A student scoring less than a C grade (an equivalent of 56%) will automatically be graded an F and must be repeated in order to receive credit. Students will be allowed to repeat failed courses. Whatever grade the student achieves after repeat will be averaged in the GPA.

Environmental Health Major Introduction The goal of the Department of Science and Engineering in implementing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health is to provide a strong Christian foundation in the Environmental Health programme for students who have completed their secondary school education, and who aspire to become experts in environmental health management locally and internationally. The Environmental Health major is a rigorous, science based, applied curriculum that prepares students for careers in environmental health fields. Students who successfully complete the programme of study receive the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health degree. Graduates will be prepared to serve as Christian servant leaders as Environmental Health Specialists, Occupational Health Specialists, Health and Safety Officers, Environmental Consultants and Educators among others. The degree can also be used as a step to an advanced degree in many fields including environmental health, industrial hygiene, toxicology, epidemiology, ecology and environmental engineering, and will satisfy entrance requirements for professional degree programmes such as medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry and pharmacy. Rationale The rapid growth of population in developing countries has been accompanied by enormous environmental degradation. Some of the degrading activities have resulted to poor living and health standards. Consequently diseases that affect Man, animals and plants have been on the increase in these countries. Therefore a need arises to have an in depth understanding of the relationship of people to their environment, in order to protect and enhance their health. Most of the environmental problems and their health effects have been aggravated by lack of adequate well-trained personnel to combat them. Therefore people should be empowered to participate actively, individually or collectively to improve the quality of the environment. This calls for specialized training of personnel in Environmental Health. Environmental Health is an interdisciplinary course of study incorporating Biology, Chemistry, Public Health, Christian Religion &Ethics and Engineering, with an emphasis on the effect of the environment on human health and its control. The programme includes both theoretical as well as practical aspects related to the assessment and control of environmental factors that could potentially be dangerous to the health of the current and future generations. The curriculum in Environmental Health is designed to educate professionals by providing graduates with the appropriate knowledge and values necessary for identification, assessment, prevention, and control of environmental factors potentially harmful to human health, quality of life and to the stability and sustainability of ecosystems. In addition, graduates will obtain the necessary skills to plan, implement, update and enforce related programmes. Admission Requirements All candidates admitted to the Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Health at Daystar University must have the following requirements: 1. The minimum entry requirement shall be an overall grade of C+ (C plus) for holders of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) or equivalent requirements for students who have gone through other systems. 2. In addition, candidates must obtain a minimum of a C+ (Plus) in Biology and Chemistry and at least a C (Plain) in Mathematics. 3. Candidates with Diploma in Environmental Health Sciences from the Kenya Medical Training College or other recognized institutions, and who fulfill all other university entrance requirements may be considered for admission if they had an average KCSE grade of C (plain) or better. Assessment of Student s Performance The University common regulations for undergraduate examinations and faculty specific regulations shall apply. The continuous assessment shall be based on written assignments, field work, laboratory exercises and written tests. The end of semester examinations and continuous assessment shall usually comprise of 60% and 40% respectively, although this may vary for some courses as defined in the course syllabus. Duration and Requirements for Graduation The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health shall typically extend over a period of four academic years, unless Senate on recommendation of the School Board approves exemption. The University s common regulations for undergraduate examinations shall apply for all the examinations leading to the award of the degree. The candidates will be expected to do a minimum of 160 credit-hours, divided as follows: 115 credits required in Environmental Health, 20 credits from related science fields and 25 credits from General Education. A credit hour is defined as one contact hour per week for sixteen weeks in a semester. Of these 14 weeks are used for teaching and 2 weeks are for university endof-semester exams. Undergraduate programs must be completed within a period of seven (7) years total elapsed time. In order to graduate, a student should attain an average GPA of 2.00 or better. Required Courses In Environmental Health; The Credit hours per week are represented as total credits (Theory hours/practical hours), for example 4(3/3) OR total credit (theory hours), for example 3(3) where there are no practical hours OR total credit (practical hours) where there are no theory hours.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN APPLIED COMPUTER SCIENCE Rationale The goal of Daystar University is to train students to become servant-leaders in Kenya and throughout Africa and other parts of the world. As such the students need to be creative and innovative thinkers who will lead in the development of new technologies and systems in whatever area they work, creating jobs and computer solutions to societies problems. The use of computers in business, industry and service organizations has completely changed the way we work and live. Computers affect almost every area of life. Computer technology is changing at a rapid pace. Those working in this area must have the critical thinking skills needed to not only adapt or react to the changes but to creatively participate in the changes to ensure that progress is made in the proper direction. Students will be encouraged to relate their Christian faith to their work as computer scientists. This may express itself in a variety of ways such as: in the nature of their work, level of commitment to employer and employee and to society through their ethical and moral conviction. Every system they build should be motivated by the desire to reflect the creativity of God and for the glory of His kingdom. In the liberal art tradition, the students will be expected to study in a number of areas such as Bible, literature and language, history, music or art and communication to provide a broad-based education. As professional leaders the graduates will need to effectively communicate their ideas both orally and the written word. In addition to teaching specific skills, a significant goal of the program will be to teach the students to think critically, broadly and conceptually. Admission Requirements Applicants must fulfil entry requirements that apply to the admission of all Daystar undergraduate students as stated in the current Daystar University Catalogue. They must have a C+ or better overall average on the KCSE examination or equivalent. In addition, they must meet the following requirements: C or better in mathematics on the KCSE examination or equivalent, C or better in physics (or C or better in Chemistry or Computer Studies or Biology or Geography) on the KCSE examination or C or better in Physical Science on the KCSE examination or equivalent. Students may also enter the ACS major from the Daystar University Preuniversity program if their grades in mathematics, physical science and basic computer knowledge are B or better, or from Daystar Diploma in IT. Student Assessment Student assessment will be based on class participation, class attendance, continuous assessment such as assignments, group work and quizzes, project work and a final examination. The relative weight of each will vary from course to course depending on the nature of the course and will be specified in the course syllabi. Requirements for Graduation To graduate with a degree in Applied Computer Science, students must obtain 139 credit hours distributed as follows: Category Credit Hours General Education 31 Applied Computer Science 73 Required Electives 6 Mathematics, Science and Electronics 29 TOTAL 139 General Education Courses for Computer Science: Course Code/Course Title Credit Hours BIL111 Old Testament Survey 3 BIL112 New Testament Survey 3 BIO111 Biology 2 ECO111 Introduction to Economics 2 ENG111 Advance Reading 3 ENG112 Advanced Writing 3 ENV112 Environment Science 2 HPE113 Health and Physical Fitness 1 INS111 Communication and Culture I 3 INS212 African Societies and Traditional Religion 2 MUS/ART/LIT111 Music in Africa/Art in Africa/ Appreciation of Literature 2 PHL111 Introduction to Philosophy 3 RET320 Christianity and Islam in Africa 2 TOTAL 31 For students coming from outside Kenya the equivalent percentages will be used. 315
