    HANDS•ON LIFE• CHANGING LTyingE academic studiesA to the real worldRN and drawing students ING and teachers into a dialogue about our shrinking global village All photography by Donald May unless otherwise indicated. 16 F OCUS uring the 2009 summer academic term, DONALD MAY an innovative interdisciplinary general Academic Tour Director education program was offered at Andrews HANDS•ON University, featuring a study tour to Tanzania. The tour took place May 13–31, with academic Dexperiences prior to and/or in conclusion of the trip. The goal was to tie academic studies to the real world, drawing students and teachers into a dialogue about our shrinking global village. The program was carefully researched and creatively blended several disciplines, including psychology, literature, social work, religion and photography. It provided a wealth of learning possibilities, from the wondrous LIFE• natural heritage of Africa, to its traditional cultures and contemporary African life. Blessed with some of the world’s greatest natural areas, Tanzania is politically stable, has a reliable and comfortable infrastructure for visitors, and warm and friendly people eager to share their rich cultural CHANGING heritage. LEARNING The tour’s director was Donald May, associate dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and director of general education & student retention. He was previously a professor of photography for 20 years and led multiple tours around the world. Initially the tours were planned solely for photo majors, resulting in a wealth of visual experiences. In 2001, May was named director of general education and recognized the value of travel as part of an enriched learning experience.

    A Status Review of Private Universities and Colleges in Tanzania

    JHEA/RESA Vol. 5, Nos. 2&3, 2007, pp.85–109 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa 2007 (ISSN 0851–7762) The Debate on Quality and the Private Surge: A Status Review of Private Universities and Colleges in Tanzania Johnson M Ishengoma* Abstract While enrolments in private universities is still low in Tanzania, their number, however, is surging at an alarming rate raising critical questions about their aca- demic quality in terms of their course offerings and the qualifications of the aca- demic staff involved in teaching these programmes. Despite this surge in the sheer number of Tanzania private universities, public universities remain dominant in terms of enrolment. This paper (i) documents the hitherto-lacking critical infor- mation about private universities and university colleges in Tanzania, (ii) dis- cusses the implications of the surge and (iii) discusses the related issues of aca- demic quality. Résumé Alors que les inscriptions dans les universités privées sont encore faibles en Tan- zanie, leur nombre augmente toutefois à un rythme considérable soulevant ainsi des questions cruciales au sujet de leur qualité académique du point de vue de leurs programmes d’études et des qualifications du personnel universitaire impli- qué dans l’enseignement de ces programmes. Malgré cette augmentation du nom- bre d’universités privées en Tanzanie, les universités publiques restent dominan- tes du point de vue de l’inscription. Ce document (i) décrit les informations jusqu’ici manquantes sur les universités et collèges privés en Tanzanie, (ii) examine les implications de leur essor et (iii) traite des questions liées à la qualité de l’ensei- gnement universitaire.

    University of Arusha

    Image not found or type unknown University of Arusha VICTOR P. KABANGUT’SE, AND MUSSA S. MUNEJA Victor P. Kabangut’se Mussa S. Muneja, Th.D. (University of South Africa, Pretoria), is a senior lecturer at the University of Arusha in Tanzania where he teaches and serves as director of Research and External Linkages. He is a member of the East Central Africa Division Theological Research Committee. He has written articles forAndrews University Seminary Studies and the Journal of Adventist Missions. He is married to Joyce and they have two daughters. The University of Arusha, originally known as Arusha Adventist Seminary, is an institution of higher learning operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Tanzania, under the Adventist philosophy of education (holistic education) and policy to meet its mission locally and internationally.1 The university has dual accreditation, first by the Adventist Accreditation Association (2016), and also by the Tanzania Commission of Universities since 2011, when it received its charter.2 Historical Background of the University of Arusha In 1970, the Tanzania Union Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church found it necessary to establish a ministerial training institution for its workers at Ikizu, 65 kilometers southeast of Musoma. In 1975, the Tanzania Union Mission combined the Adventist School of Health Evangelism at Heri Hospital in Kigoma and the Ministerial Training Institution at Ikizu. This consolidated institution was then transferred to a new site at the Usa River, 24 kilometers from Arusha, and named Arusha Adventist Seminary.3 In 1978, Arusha Adventist Seminary was upgraded to college status and named Tanzania Adventist Seminary and College.
