How many universities are there in Kenya?

There are 69 officially chartered, licensed or accredited Kenyan higher-education institution(s) that meet uniRank's selection criteria.

Is this A-Z list the same as uniRank's Kenyan university ranking?

No. This page lists Kenyan universities alphabetically for easy lookup, while uniRank's 2026 Kenyan University Ranking orders the same 69 institutions according to uniRank's web-metric-based ranking methodology. Each institution's country ranking position is also shown in the right-hand column of this list.

Does alphabetical order reflect a university's quality or web popularity ranking?

No. Alphabetical order is based solely on the institution name and does not indicate academic quality, reputation or uniRank's ranking position. For web popularity-based ordering, see uniRank's 2026 Kenyan University Ranking.

The Kenyan universities in this list start with the following letters: A (6), C (1), D (2), E (1), G (3), I (2), J (2), K (12), L (2), M (10), P (3), R (2), S (4), T (10), U (8), Z (1).

Can I search this list by location instead of name?
