“Ruaha Catholic University (RUCU) is the successor to Ruaha University College (RUCO), which was founded by the Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC) under its Trust Deed of the Registered Trustees of Ruaha University College with the generous support of well-wishers (friends of RUCU) both inside and outside of the country. The University is regulated and administered in accordance with the Catholic Church’s Policy on Higher Education Institutions Ex-Corde Ecclesia, as well as the terms of the University Constitution. Nonetheless, RUCU is a private, secular school of higher learning that welcomes all students regardless of creed or religious affiliation. It does not discriminate on the basis of faith or background, religious affiliation, race, ethnicity, gender, disability or caste”.
