Originally founded as a Bible College, the university was built on the site of the former Lumumba Institute (Current Thika Road Campus). [3]

Over the years, PAC University has grown in terms of its academic-offering to a point where it currently has over thirty five (35) courses on offer, with all the graduate and undergraduate courses approved by Commission for University Education (CUE).{ [6] [7]
