Egerton University is the oldest public institution of higher learning in Kenya. Its roots date back to 1939 when it was founded as a Farm School by Lord Maurice Egerton of Tatton, a British national who settled in Kenya in the 1920s. The School was upgraded to an Agricultural College offering diploma courses in 1950.
The Egerton Agricultural College was gazetted in 1986 as a constituent college of the University of Nairobi. The following year, it was established as Egerton University through an Act of Parliament.
Egerton University has three campuses and one campus college.
The main campus in Njoro houses the faculties of Agriculture, Arts and Social Sciences, Education and Community Studies, Engineering and Technology, Environment and Resources Development, Science, and Veterinary Medicine and Surgery.
