A Brief History of the University Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) is situated in the east of Kakamega town along Kakamega-Webuye road. The University is successor of the former Western College of Arts and Applied Sciences (WECO). WECO was founded on 5th January 1972 based on the then Harambee spirit. Harambee spirit encouraged the establishment of regional technical Colleges on Self-help efforts in the country. The Colleges were to provide vocational training that aimed at producing persons with technical skills. Being a regional College, WECO developed progammes that were to be offer in the then three districts of Western Province as follows: Engineering and Business programmes in Kakamega, Medical Technology and Nutrition in Busia and Agricultural and Veterinary Technology in Bungoma. WECO site at Kakamega awarded certificates and diplomas in Mechanical and Motor Vehicle Technology, Electrical and Electronic Technology, Agricultural and water Technology, Agricultural and Forest Products Processing, Manufacturing Technology, Accounting , Finance, Insurance , Management Technology and Secretarial Technology. In December, 2002, WECO was upgraded to a constituent College of Moi University through a legal notice No 373. The name changed to Western University College of Science and Technology. A debate ensued on what the acronym of the University college should be. There were those who advocated for the acronym to reflect the original philosophy of the institution. They wished to have acronym slightly modified to WEUCO. The other group wished to have the acronym to reflect the new name Western University College of Science and Technology (WUCST). At the retreat of the University College Council and Academic Board, it was resolved that the acronym of the institution should be WUCST. Western University College of Science and Technology (WUCST) was further upgraded to full fledged university status through a parliamentary Act of 2006. The name changed to Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST). Currently, the University has three faculties, two schools and one Centre offering academic programmes. These are; Faculty of Education and Social Sciences, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Engineering, School of Open Learning and Continuing Education, School of Health

Sciences and the Centre for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance. In total there are twenty (20) academic departments. The University has also a School of Graduate Studies responsible for coordinating graduate programmes and research. MMUST also offers short courses some of which are tailor-made for specific groups or institutions. The students are admitted in two categories---through the Joint Admissions Board (JAB) and Privately Sponsored Students Progamme (PSSP) The necessary infrastructure has been put in place and efforts are being made to increase the existing facilities to cater for the increasing number of students.

In short period of existence, the University has grown tremendously both in student and staff population. The current student population is about 7000 and that of teaching staff is about 500.

1.0. Introduction The major challenge facing the agricultural industry today is to reduce crop losses from diseases, pests and weeds while safeguarding our environment. A large proportion of crop production expenses go to crop protection activities. Pesticides contribute to environmental pollution and economic loss as exemplified by fish poisoning and pesticide residues in horticultural products. As a result of market liberalization, different types of pesticides, crop products and planting materials are imported into the country. This calls for stringent measures to curb entry of insect pests, diseases, noxious and invasive weeds that are capable of destroying various crop enterprises and the environment. Improper use of pesticides has led to the country losing considerable foreign exchange. The course is therefore designed to offer training in all aspects of crop and environmental protection to produce holistic graduates well prepared and equipped to meet the current job market requirements. 2.0.Specific Objectives 2.1. Acquire knowledge and skills to offer advisory services in all matters related to crop and environmental protection. 2.2. Design and execute research programmes aimed at solving crop and environmental protection problems. 2.3. Collect, analyze, present and interpret data in crop and environmental protection experiments. 2.4. Acquire competence in pesticide safe handling, usage, disposal and monitoring their fate in the environment. 2.5. To manage crop and environmental protection issues including integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) and other environmental safe procedures. 2.6. To acquire entrepreneurial skills and be able to apply them in the area of crop protection.

Doctor of Philosophy in Kiswahili Programme 1.0 Introduction The enhanced status of Kiswahili globally necessitates the advanced scientific study of the language as an academic subject and medium of wider communication. However, despite its role in society, few higher education institutions offer Kiswahili Studies at this level. The number of those that offer programmes through the Kiswahili medium is even smaller. It is for this reason that the Department of Language and Literature Education has developed a Doctor of Philosophy in Kiswahili programme in order to contribute to further development of Kiswahili, its understanding and pedagogy. The Doctor of Philosophy in Kiswahili programme is oriented towards research, teaching and community service that will promote knowledge, skills and attitudes concerning Kiswahili and its role in development. More specifically, the Programme is aimed at producing practitioner-scholars able to bridge the gap between theory, policy and practice. Succesful completion of this programme of study prepares graduates to take up positions as scholars in institutions of higher education, educational programmes, administration and leadership, fieldoriented professions, consultancies, language policy and planning and teacher education where high intellectual capacity and research are integral to ones professionalism. The programme involves in-depth examination of critical issues related to Kiswahili literature , linguistics and language education and their 99

Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication 1.0. Introduction: Few careers offer the challenges and opportunities Journalism and Mass Communication offer. The changing social, political and technological environment has opened new avenues for welltrained manpower in Journalism and Mass Communication in Kenya and beyond. Unfortunately those who wish to pursue these careers have to find opportunities abroad since no public university in Kenya offers a bachelors degree in these fields. To be relevant, a new university such as Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology has to take up the challenge and introduce such programmes that meet market needs. Emerging technologies have transformed the work of journalists, public relations practitioners and advertising experts and increased the need for high standards. This has created a demand for professionals schooled in ethics with the technical expertise capable of adapting to new media formats and the dynamics of a global audience. The Department of Journalism and Mass communication stresses a totally professional approach in the theory and practice of journalism and mass communication. 2.0. Objectives of the programme The Department aims at preparing students for a variety of careers including: journalism, broadcasting, advertising and public relations.

SCR 200 Kenyan Law and the Legal System SCR 299 Practicum (14 weeks) Department of Science and Mathematics Education Bachelor of Science in Primary Education 1.0.Introduction Research shows that there is a direct relationship between a nations economic development and the scientific literacy of its population. It was with this in mind that the government of Kenya introduced the 8 4 4 system of education to catalyze the production of a technologically oriented population in an effort to industrialize the country by the year 2020. However, a majority of Kenyas population is, and will be, exposed only to basic education. There was therefore a great need to establish a firm foundation of science education at the primary school level. This would promote basic technological and scientific literacy among them while at the same time providing opportunities for those who go beyond this level to specialize in the various science disciplines. Science is taught in primary schools as an integrated discipline. This approach is meant to allow the child to be progressively exposed to science concepts, ideas and principles in a holistic manner before being encouraged to specialize in the separate areas of physics, chemistry and biology or in sciencebased professions in later years. The assumption to this approach is that as a discipline science is fundamentally concerned with exploring and interpreting the natural world in a unified manner . This unity should be established at the primary school level. Unfortunately, the 8-4-4 system was implemented before adequate mechanisms were put in place to cater for this innovation and orientation. For example, science teachers in primary schools are prepared by trainers in teacher colleges who are mainly graduate teachers in the separate areas of Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science. These teachers are ill-equipped to train 125

primary science teachers in an integrated manner. Because of this lapse, science teachers in our primary schools are not adequately grounded to help develop in the children requisite scientific skills for holistic understanding of the physical world. This programme will address this discrepancy. 2.0 Rationale In drawing up the programme the Department held consultations with primary school teachers, head teachers, parents/teachers associations and education officers. We also took into account the views expressed in the mass media and in educational seminar and workshop reports. The consensus was that teachers and other education officers with academic qualifications above the conventional PI certificate tended to be more confident and performed better. This is the case when teachers and education officers acquire more advanced content in their subject areas of specialization. The teachers Service Commission and the public service commission seem to be cognizant of this trend. Teachers and other education officers are encouraged to continuously upgrade themselves through further education. There are immediate rewards of promotion up to Job Group Q. clearly, professional requirements for primary school teachers and inspectors in the near future are set to rise. It is therefore not surprising that the trend worldwide is to train all teachers at university. This is evident in countries like, USA,UK,Canada, Australia and Japan. In Africa this practice is seen in Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda and lately Uganda and Kenya. Whereas the content in the programmes differs from country to country, this programme offers a truly integrated science content. 3.0.Target Group The programme targets the following persons: 3.1. P1 teachers currently teaching primary science and mathematics and who wish to broaden their understanding of these subjects to effectively teach the same or to work as primary science and mathematics teacher trainers and inspectors. 3.2. Education officers holding PI, SI and Diploma in Education qualifications and currently working as

primary school inspectors and Teacher advisory center tutors who wish to improve their knowledge and supervision skills in science and mathematics. 3.3. Teachers and education officers holding Diploma in Education who wish to specialize in integrated science for the purpose of teaching in teacher training colleges or improving their supervision skills in science and mathematics. 3.4.All others who are interested in pursuing degree work in integrated science. 4.0.Entry Requirements Candidates eligible for the course should satisfy any one of the following admission requirements: 4.1. A minimum of mean grade of C+ in KCSE. In addition they should have a minimum grade of C+ in mathematics and any two science subjects. Candidates who do not meet this requirement may take bridging courses at the University. 4.2. A minimum of two principle passes in the relevant subjects in EAACE/KACE 4.3. Diploma in Education with at least credit passes in the relevant subjects. 4.4. P1 teaching certificate at least with distinction passes in the relevant subjects. Those with credit passes should show evidence of merit in teaching science and/or mathematics in primary schools. 5.0. Duration of the course 5.1. Candidates in the regular or full-time programme will take four academic years to complete the course. 5.2. Those who enroll in the part-time or Sandwich or school-based programme will use 16 school vacations covering four academic years (i.e four vacations for each academic year) to complete the course. Each vacation will consist of 24 contact hours (ie 6 hours x 4 weeks) for each course. Each semester (ie 2 vacations) will therefore consist of 48 contact hours (i.e. 6 hours x 4 weeks x 2 vacations) for each semester. Based on this information. the total number of contact hours for each semester is summarized in Table I. 5.3 Holders of Diploma in Education will enter the programme in the second year. 6.0. Mode of Teaching Teaching will consist of the following methods: 126

6.1. Lectures and demonstrations 6.2. Laboratory practicals and field work 6.3. Projects and assignments 6.4. Seminars and panel discussions 6.5. Library research 7.0.Examinations Examinations will consist of the following: 7.1. Continuous Assessment Continuous assessment for each course will be done through seminars, assignments, practical projects and written tests. It will account for 30% of the total marks. 7.2. Regular Examinations A three-hour written examination will be administered at the end of each course. It will account for 70% of the total marks. 7.3. Grading Grading will be based on university regulations and awards. 8.0. Course Structure Students in the B.sc in Primary Education shall take integrated science courses drawn from Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Earth and Environmental Science and Mathematics in the Department and in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. They will also take recommended, required and common courses in the Faculty of Education and Social Sciences.

All course work shall normally be completed in the first year of study for both full-time and parttime students. 5.4. Students who have done relevant work as units in a variety of courses from other universities or from WUCST at Masters level may be granted credit transfer towards their Ph.D programme. This will be subject to examination of course syllabi and/or papers written by the student to determine mastery of the objectives. 5.5. Only an equivalent of one-half of the total number of credit hours required for the programme, exclusive of thesis credits, will be granted towards the programme. Putting into consideration other factors such as variation in the total number of credit hours for the Ph.D programme in other Universities, the minimum credits to be taken at MMUST is set at 21 credit hours or units. 5.6. A candidate may take extra courses over and above the required number of units and may also audit courses subject to the approval of the Department. 6.0. Expected pattern of study and assessment The structure of this Ph.D study combines structural intensive course work with a substantial thesis research. 6.1 The course work component 6.1.1. A candidate shall unless exempted by the committee on the recommendation of the faculty board, complete the required courses. 6.1.2. Candidates must demonstrate competence in all the courses undertaken. The candidates will be required to keep a thorough journal recording observations, analysis and reflections focused on specific issues arising from policy, practice and theory in their courses they undertake. These will be checked and graded by the course tutor. 138

6.1.3. The examination for any course shall comprise such combination of work: A critical essay arising from activity stated in 6.1.2 assignments, tests and formal examinations as the faculty board may determine from time to time. 6.1.4.A satisfactory level of achievement must be obtained by a candidate in all courses taken as outlined in the rules and regulations governing examinations. 6.2. Pattern of study The normal pattern of study expected is thus as follows: 6.2.1. Thesis Research 6.2.1.1. Once enrolled, students begin their thesis research immediately in the first year by undertaking intensive preparatory work: First, writing a critical review of literature in their selected field, and second actively participating in research methodology and Mathematics education courses. 6.2.1.2. The critical review of literature is undertaken to ensure that candidates have a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the ongoing contemporary research in their chosen area of study. The research methodology course provides a review of contemporary research methods and provides opportunities for the intensive development of research skills and techniques relevant to candidates specialized fields of study. This course together with courses in Mathematics education will provide ample opportunity for the candidates to prepare a detailed research proposal.. 6.2.1.3. The proposal will be discussed at the first doctoral seminar in the second semester and refined at the second year. The proposal (of not more than 5,000 words or 20 pages of 1.5 spacing excluding appendices) is defended in an oral examination taken between the second year and third year of candidature for part-time candidates or between the first and second year of candidature for full-time candidates. Students may not proceed to the thesis research until the proposal has been accepted and until they have completed their course work. 6.2.1.4. Following the successful defence of the research proposal and the course work, candidates begin research, for their thesis.

6.2.1.5. The research on the thesis is spread over four years for part-time candidates, forming half the overall work load for the degree. 6.2.1.6. The thesis, the original work of the candidate, is expected to make significant contribution to knowledge in the chosen field of study. 70. Supervision On the recommendation of the graduate school committee, at least two members of the academic staff shall be appointed as internal supervisors for each candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The responsibilities of the supervisors shall be as set down by Senate.

Student-centered holistic approach Department of Nursing Sciences 1.0. The School of Health Sciences at MMUST will offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) in two pathways: 2.0. RN to BScN designed for registered nurses who wish to earn a BScN degree (2 years) 3.0.. Direct entry to BScN from high school (4 years). The first programme introduced in 2008/2009 was Bachelor of Science Nursing Upgrading (RNBScN). The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Direct Entry) 1.0. Introduction The aim of the Programme is to produce highly competent nurse practitioners, nurse researchers, nurse educators and managers capable of serving in Kenya and the rest of the World. The need for the Bachelor of Science in nursing direct entry degree programme arose from several workshops held with stakeholders in the western Kenya region. The demand for the training of 168

Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) was specifically expressed by branches of the National Nurses Association of Kenya (NNAK) in western Kenya, The Nursing Council of Kenya and the Office of Chief Nursing Officer in the Ministry of Health because of the big deficit of degree trained nurses in western province. The programme will target high school leavers who have successfully completed and passed Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. The programme has both the basic sciences and the core clinical courses. It will integrate theoretical, clinical and community based learning with its clinical placements undertaken in NCK approved health facilities. It is hoped that graduates will get employment opportunities in Medical training institutions, hospitals and medical research institutes and NGOs among many other employers nationally and globally. The philosophy and conceptual framework of the Bachelor of Science in nursing degree at MMUST are in accordance with the vision, mission and core values of the University. The concepts identified in this philosophy are health, society, nursing, teaching, learning and professionalism. 2.0. Rationale 2.1. There is a growing need to meet the ever increasing demand for graduate nurses for the Kenyan market and beyond. It is for this reason that MMUST has taken the challenge to educate nurses to meet health challenges of the 21st century. 2.2. The dynamic and expanding roles of the nurse require the nurse to develop the capacity for independent clinical judgement, critical thinking and healthcare knowledge management skills to be able to provide complex care. These are important competencies and capability that would enable nurses to deliver quality health care services in a multitude of demographic and clinical settings. This direct entry program is a full time on-campus learning and clinical experience placement in NCK approved health facilities. The curriculum is designed to promote active learning and innovations to translate theory effectively into practical solutions of health problems. It is envisaged that the program will strengthen the health systems and

this philosophy are health, society, nursing, teaching, learning and professionalism. 2.0. Rationale There has been limited opportunity for continuing nursing education to upgrade the skills of the working nurse especially in the institutions of higher learning. This trend has impacted negatively in the delivery of nursing services and management of health systems.The dynamic and expanding roles of the nurse require the nurse to develop the capacity for independent clinical judgement, critical thinking and healthcare knowledge management skills to be able to provide complex care. These are important competencies and capability that would enable nurses deliver quality health care services in a multitude of demographic and clinical settings. This upgrading program is a blend of part time oncampus learning and work-based clinical experience in NCK approved health facilities. The curriculum is designed to promote active learning and innovations to translate theory effectively into practical solutions of health problems. The program will strengthen the health systems and tremendously improve the quality of nursing services in the region.

Centre for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (CDMHA) 1.0. Background Information The Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (CDMHA) was established at WUCST in April 2004. It is the first center at WUCST and also a first of its kind in the region. It assumes the status of a regional centre. Natural and Human-Made disasters are increasingly becoming severe and frequent. This has led to increased human suffering and economic losses, especially in developing countries. Indeed more than 95% of all deaths in developing countries are caused by disasters, and the economic losses due to natural disasters are 20 times greater (as per GDP) in developing countries than in industrial countries. The main reason for this disparity is attributed to more vulnerability in developing countries. Some of the suggested causes of disasters in developing countries are: 1.1. Poorly planned development leaving out disaster prevention and mitigation efforts. 1.2. . Lack of strategic planning and rapid response to disasters. 1.3 Dense population in the flood plains. d. Degradation of natural resources. 1.4. . Defective or lack of disaster management policies. 1.5. Lack of disaster warning systems. 1.6. Low literacy levels on disaster warning and management. 1.7. Lack of research findings on disaster management to planners and affected communities. 1.8. Non-existent data bases upon which proper planning may be based. To tackle the above causes, proper disaster planning, management and response need to be put in place. In addition traditional methods in disaster management need to be developed. 2.0. Objectives 2.1. To provide students with the theoretical and practical background for understanding and 197

addressing the issues associated with sustainable development, in the context of both natural and man-made disasters. 2.2. To equip graduates with the awareness, understanding and skills essential for effective participation in action as individuals and as members of a team in crises situations. 2.3. To introduce students to ethics, codes and standards of good practice in disaster management. 2.4. To describe strategies for early warning and prevention of humanitarian crises. 2.5. To enable students understand the synergy between emergency development interventions and sustainable development programmes. 2.6. Prepare students to have the core knowledge and skills needed to assume leadership in responding to the multifaceted demands of sustainable development in emergencies and in normal development tasks and activities. 2.7. Assist students identify and analyse common successes and challenges related to sustainable development activities and apply their core knowledge in solving problems within their field of work. 2.8. Enable students participate in an interactive learning community with diverse participants and faculty from different communities/countries and various institutional settings. 3.0. Target Groups The programmes in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance are suitable for professionals from the following backgrounds and other related fields: a. Natural resource scientists b. Natural resource managers c. Engineers, architects and planners d. Commercial disaster managers. e. Uniformed services including the fire department, ambulance, police, nursing and armed forces. f. Form four school leavers g. International agencies such as UN, UNICEF, UNDP, WFP and WHO. h. NGOs and other disaster relief and aid agencies. i. Risk Managers and Insurance Providers. j. Health Service Managers.

k. Consultants in insurance, financial institutions and risk undertakers. l. Education Professionals m. Administrators Certificate Programmes Certificates in Disaster Management shall be offered in the following 8 options: a. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Audit and Planning Logistics. b. Disaster Preparedness and Engineering c. Reconstruction d. Conflict Management and Resolution e. Emergency Planning and Disaster f. Management g. Humanitarian Assistance and Conflict h. Resolution i.

Entry Requirements The following shall be eligible for registration for the Certificate Courses: Either 1.1. Holder of at least 3 months Course in the above areas. Successful completion of Certificate with Credit will enable the Candidate to join Diploma Courses at higher levels. Or 1.2 Holders of KCSE Certificate with mean grade C- (minus) or KCE Certificate at Division III Certificate and Diploma Programmes In Ethics and Corruption Studies 1.0. Background Information Corruption has been a frequent subject of discussion in several fora both locally and internationally. Its genesis is rooted in the earliest development of humankind and its manifestation spans several generations. Governments all over the world have declared war on corruption and the developed 198

countries have even pegged donor support on commitment by recipient countries to fight the vice. Corruption is deeply rooted in the fabric of society and has led to the deterioration of infrastructure in Kenya through embezzlement of funds and the misuse of resources. The lack of transparency and accountability has led to near breakdown of several institutions and organizations. 2.0. Rationale of courses in Ethics and Corruption Studies In spite of laudable efforts, it is a fact that the fight against corruption is still a daunting task and the vice is progressively approaching disastrous levels in society. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that Kenya has a shortage of well -trained personnel to deal with the situation professionally. Such organs as the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission need to devolve at least to the district level, and in order to achieve that effectively, there is need for capacity building. There is an urgent need to train and impart anti-corruption skills, knowledge and attitude to people who will then steer the process of fighting the vice diligently. Apart from the Integrity Assurance Officers training programmes run by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, there is currently no formal ethics and anti-corruption training to facilitate career development in the profession. As a centre that is deeply involved in research and dissemination of knowledge in disaster studies, CDMHA is obligated to make a contribution towards finding a solution to the problem. The centre has recruited competent staff with the ability of carrying out scientific analysis and dissemination of knowledge on a wide range of hazards including corruption. Some of them have undergone training in corruption studies and have experience in handling corruption issues in the public sector. The Centre intends to carry out capacity building by offering certificate courses in Corruption Prevention, Corruption Research, Monitoring and Evaluation, Corruption Detection, Reporting and the Legal Framework, and Forensic Science, Banking Fraud and Money Laundering Investigations. These

courses will also lead to a Diploma in Ethics and Corruption Studies. It is expected that the training will complement the efforts of the Kenya AntiCorruption by producing people who are well trained on ethics and corruption issues. The graduates from the training programmes will form the required human resource base to facilitate the decentralization of the activities of the Commission to the grass root level. The curricula focus on skills and capacities required in field situations and the Centre will strive to maintain links with other institutions involved in ethics and corruption studies at local, national and international levels. 2.0. Aim The aim of the programme in ethics and corruption studies is to impart skills and knowledge and produce qualified personnel capable of carrying out research and spearheading the fight against corruption in society. 3.0. Objectives 3.1. To provide students with the theoretical and practical background for understanding and addressing the issues associated with corruption. 3.2. To provide graduates with the awareness, understanding and skills essential for effective participation in action as individuals and as members of a team in dealing with corruption issues. 3.3. To introduce students to ethics, codes and standards of good behaviour. 3.4. Prepare students to have the core knowledge and skills needed to assume leadership and be proactive in dealing with corruption issues. 3.5. Enable students participate in an interactive learning community with diverse participants and faculty from different communities/countries and various institutional settings. 4.0. Special Skills to be acquired by Professionals in Corruption Studies Graduates of the program will be able to: 4.1. Carry out corruption risk analysis and design corruption prevention action plans.

4.2. Have a basic understanding of the natural/socioeconomic environment in which corruption takes place. 4.3. Identify specific needs of affected organizations in the fight against corruption, and plan and implement activities to meet these needs, and monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of assistance provided; 4.4. Plan and implement corruption prevention programmes. 4.5. Understand the law relating to the fight against corruption. 5.0. Target Groups The certificate and diploma courses in Ethics and Corruption Studies target people employed in public and private organizations as well as NonGovernmental Organizations, who are expected to manage corruption prevention programmes in their organizations. The courses also target non-employed people who wish to gain knowledge, skills and attitudes in corruption prevention and especially the youth who intend to pursue a career in corruption studies and seek employment in such organizations as the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission as well as Non-Governmental Organizations. Other targeted groups are Law Enforcement officers, Investigators and bankers, who require special skills in forensic science, banking fraud and money laundering investigations. 6.0.

Doctor of Philosophy 1.0. Objectives The doctoral programme will seek to develop the highest level of scholarship, research capability, and creative thinking in the students area of specialization. 2.0. Regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Disaster Management and
Humanitarian Assistance

2.1. Eligibility for Ph.D Programme 2.1.1. Common University regulations for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of MMUST shall apply. 2.1.2. In addition any candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in CDMHA must: 2.1.2. Be a holder of a Masters degree of MMUST in any of the following disciplines: biological sciences, health sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, law, engineering, humanities and allied disciplines. 2.1.3 Be a holder of a Masters degree of a Kenyan Public University or any other University recognized by MMUST Senate as equivalent to the status of the qualifications in (2.1.1) above; or

Secondly, s/he must extend the body of knowledge about that subject. To master a subject, a student searches the published literature to find and read everything that has been written about the subject. In scientific disciplines, a student begins by studying general reference works such as text books. Eventually, the student must also search scholarly journals, the publications that scientists use to exchange information and record reports of their scientific investigations. To demonstrate complete mastery of the subject, a student in disaster management may be required to complete additional graduate-level courses (level 900 or level 800 courses), maintain a high grade average, or take a battery of special examinations. These examinations may include oral sessions or presentations to panels of experts. Other methods of ensuring mastery of the subject may involve comprehensive term papers: equivalent to scientific articles and problem solving sessions where one must express herself/himself concisely. The essence of a Ph.D., the aspect that distinguishes Ph.D. study from other academic work, can be summarized in a single word: research. To extend knowledge, one must explore, investigate, and contemplate. The scientific community uses the term research to capture the idea. On admission the student after consultation with the academic advisor, shall declare in writing and under his/her signature, one of the Divisions of study and programme of specialization he/she wants to pursue and its funding. The academic advisor will advise the student on the appropriate combination, including the availability of specific courses for the year. A registered candidate must submit to CDMHA and IGSRE at WUCST a research proposal within six months after provisional registration, and show how he/she intends to fund it to completion. WUCST through the advice of CDMHA and SGS may decline to approve the study or research if : 5.1. It is unsuitable in itself.

5.2. It cannot scholarly be studied under the supervision of the University or supervision outside the University which is acceptable to the Senate: or 5.3. The conditions under which the candidate proposes to work are unsatisfactory. The registration for the Ph. D programme will lapse if a candidate fails to submit an acceptable research proposal within six months after completion of requirements of coursework. 6.0. Conduct of Studies 6.1. A candidate registered in accordance with these regulations shall be required to pursue his/her programme of study through instructions or supervision by academic members of staff appointed in that capacity by MMUST Senate 6.2. All candidates shall be required to consult their supervisor(s) at least once a month. 6.3. Candidates will be required to give seminars throughout the one year of coursework period for all courses for which they are registered 6.4. All candidates shall be required to participate in all the Seminars arranged for them by WUCST. 7.0. Examination of Courses 7.1. A candidate shall be required to pass in all the modules for which he/she is registered. The pass mark in each course based on continuous coursework assessment and written examination marks shall be 50%. 7.2. A candidate who fails more than one module of the prescribed courses in a given semester shall be discontinued. 7.3. A candidate who fails one semester course shall be eligible to take supplementary examination provided that the mark obtained in the failed course is not below 40%. 7.4. A candidate who fails in any supplementary examination shall be discontinued. 7.5. Regardless of the pass mark obtained in a supplementary paper, a candidate shall be awarded 50% mark for purposes of the final degree classification. 7.6. Under exceptional circumstances, such as medical grounds, supported by a University College

Each course shall be treated as complete paper subject to a three-hour examination, plus a practical examination, where appropriate. 7.9. A candidate shall take and pass a comprehensive oral examination at the end of his/her coursework. A candidate who fails in the comprehensive oral examination shall be allowed to resit the oral examination within a prescribed time period. A candidate who fails comprehensive oral examination twice shall be discontinued. 7.10. The oral examination shall cover the Four Course Divisions selected by the student, on admission to the Ph.D. Programme and must include the Division of the students specialization. 7.11. The Academic Board shall, on the recommendation of the CDMHA and the IGSRE appoint two supervisors to advice a candidate. One supervisor shall be designated as principal and one assisting. 7.12. At least one supervisor shall be a member of the academic staff of WUCST, preferably from CDMHA. 7.13.

Co-ordinate the establishment and development of graduate programmes in fields and subjects of study along approved guidelines and in conformity with the general university regulations for higher degrees and its mission. 1.2. Co-ordinate graduate academic programmes and regulations relating to graduate studies. 1.3. Co-ordinate the admission of graduate students and the conduct of graduate programmes including examinations and award of graduate certificates, diplomas and degrees. 1.4. Co-ordinate matters pertaining to the welfare of graduate students and ensure that a conducive atmosphere exists for the conduct of their studies. 1.5. Co-ordinate the publicity of graduate programmes within and beyond Kenya through fliers, internet website and other means. 1.6.

Negotiate and co-ordinate the distribution of research funds for graduate and other researches in the university. 1.8. Encourage the publication and dissemination of research findings and ensure that patents and other intellectual property rights are secured where appropriate. Today the Library captures one memorable academic landmark feature in the existence of MMUST. It is none other than purpose built ultramodern library phase one. Opening its doors to the University and community at large signifies tremendous efforts in planning and executing for an estimated 1,500 seating capacity. It is a manifestation of MMUST library strategic ten year plan period covering 2003/2013 which spelt it out as one of its performance targets within its mission as capacity building for the construction of ultra modern library building besides being counted as core towards quality assurance in the teaching, learning, research and community service of the University. Being the nerve centre of the academic life of the University, the librarys vision and mission is to support the quality of teaching, research and extension services of the university. This is achieved by providing relevant and timely access to knowledge and information. The library has frog jumped the ICT euphoria to ensure wider access to information through provision of e-journal services linked to over 35 databases plus other relevant electronic resources. At the moment, the library links its community of users to the worldwide web vide thirty workstations. The terminals are also used to browse a collection of over 1300 CD materials. The library is speedily automating its services by using KOHA, a web based open source library management system, which will not only ensure universal access to the library materials but also guarantee provision of more value added e-services. Over the last few years, the library adopted very innovative and proactive services. A case in point is a comprehensive electronic mailing system which has effectively been used to turn around the traditional SDI concept. Through the system, the library has at all times, delivered up to date information and instructional materials to users both on demand and in anticipation. The teaching of ICT literacy continue to be a major function of the library. 232

As part of its outreach and research activities, MMUST library has pioneered wireless internet link in remote rural areas of Shinyalu through Shinyalu Community Multimedia/ Telecentre project. The idea is to avail promptly developmental information to the farming communities using internet and radio. However, with the ever-limited resources, the library experiences enormous challenges in terms of facilitating full scale e-learning processes alongside repackaging authentic materials to support it. Nevertheless, the library is already seeking partnerships with relevant stakeholders to support the establishment of additional centres to widen the network, as well as launch new services to accelerate information access.
