Preparing a New Generation of Servant Leaders with Clear Principles

Rwanda’s commitment to education is clear. And Muhabura University meets the country’s need for a quality, post-secondary, educational institution with established Principles.

Muhabura University’s Operating Principals:

  • Entrepreneurship - “A mindset that one’s life, choices and actions matter; that business as usual is not acceptable; and that from all walks of life, every day presents a unique opportunity to change Rwanda for the better.” – President Paul Kagame
  • Build on islands of strength - Students will be high school graduates and admission will be based on a number of criteria including academic performance, leadership, potential and attitude.
  • Gender equality - A priority of Vision 2020, Rwanda is already a model to the world for providing equal opportunity to women.
  • Global citizens/servant leaders - Responsible leaders and effective managers in the 21st century must embrace the principles of a civil society and master basic communication and life skills. To live a meaningful life, students must learn that the essence of effective leadership is service to others.
  • Market-oriented and results-driven - Our programs will be designed to be relevant to the needs of Rwanda’s economy and focused on preparing students to perform work valued by the marketplace.
  • Learning by doing - We are committed to academic excellence and to the value of learning both in and outside the traditional classroom.
