Seeka University is an entrepreneurial university, which is set to open its doors during the 2020/2021 academic year in the city of Yamoussoukro, the administrative and political capital of Ivory Coast.The new university will start with a School of Business, with a particular emphasis on entrepreneurship, followed by a School of Technology and Engineering.
We believe that education should and must be holistic. Hence, we focus on both the process (skill acquisition) and the individual (personal development). We expect our students to be self-reliant, be the captain of their own destiny and set the path of their own lives. To this end, we subscribe to the statement by Muriel Lieberman Strode: “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
Our pedagogy is learning by doing and includes project-based learning, problem-based learning, and blended learning, which implies the simultaneous integration of digital platforms and physical classroom presence to foster learning.
