History

Africa International University was founded in 1983 as the Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology (N.E.G.S.T) through the vision of the Association of Evangelicals in Africa.[4] The goal was to provide training for pastors beyond the basic certificate and diploma levels.

In March 2011, A.I.U was awarded a university charter by the government of Kenya and has continued to develop undergraduate programs, particularly in business, ICT, Development Studies and Counselling Psychology.[5]
