Moshi Co-operative University

Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU) is a result of upgrading the former Moshi University College of Co-operative and Business Studies (MUCCoBS) into a full-fledged University. The upgrading of MUCCoBS to a full university status was formally approved by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) at its 64th Meeting held on the 3rd July, 2014 and officially declared by the Government on the 4th September, 2014. The history of this University dates way back to 5th January, 1963 when the then Co-operative College Moshi was established. The College's primary responsibility was training of human resources in the co-operative sector under the then Ministry of Co-operatives and Community Development. The College was subsequently established through the Co-operative College Act No. 32 (Repealed) of 1964 as an autonomous institution with its own Governing Board. In 2004, the Co-operative College Moshi was transformed into Moshi University College of Co-operative and Business Studies (MUCCoBS) as the Constituent University College of Sokoine University of Agriculture through the Government Declaration Order No. 22 of 2004. In 2014, MUCCoBS was upgraded into full-fledged University.
