University of Eldoret is situated about 9 Km along the Eldoret-Ziwa Road in Eldoret Town, Uasin Gishu County. It was founded as a Large Scale Farmers Training Centre by the white settlers in 1946. Later in 1984, it was converted to a teachers’ training college and renamed Moi Teachers’ Training College to offer Diploma Science Teachers Training. Due to the double intake crisis, the College was taken over by Moi University as a Campus in 1990, renaming it Chepkoilel Campus. From 1990, the University made it a campus of natural, basic and applied science programmes. In August 2010, through Presidential Legal Notice No. 125 of 13th August 2010, the campus was upgraded into a University College with the name Chepkoilel University College, a Constituent College of Moi University. Upon the award of Charter in February 2013, the University College was renamed University of Eldoret.
