Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST), is a public university in Kenya. It is named after independence leader and Kenya’s first Vice-President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

The University’s Main Campus is situated in the town of Bondo, in the western part of Kenya, approximately 65 kilometres, west of the city of Kisumu and 2 Kilometers from the centre of Bondo town along Bondo-Usenge Road within Siaya County, Kenya. JOOUST is strategically located near Lake Victoria, the World’s second largest fresh water lake; an endowment that bestows upon the University the fairly exclusive serene environment with a high potential for studies in fresh water science and natural resource management.

The location of the University is not only friendly for the pursuit of academic excellence and scholarship but also suitable for high prolific research undertakings as well as community outreach and innovation.

JOOUST was founded in 2009, through a Legal Order No. 56 of 11th May 2009, as Bondo University College, established by the Government of Kenya as the then Constituent College of Maseno University. The University was granted a Charter on 13^th February 2013 thus gaining a new name as Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology. The University College started with a small number of 200 students but has since grown its student’s body to 13,265 as at the beginning of 2019.

JOUST PROGRAMS.

The University programmes are tailored towards providing students with the relevant competencies, skills, knowledge and integrated understanding of different fields. To contribute to the realization of a knowledge based economy as espoused in the Kenya Vision 2030, the University programmes are anchored on the pillars of scientific research, innovation, collaboration with the industry and technology transfer.
