Bowen University
Bowen University is a private Baptist Christian Nigerian university located at Iwo in Osun State, Nigeria. It is affiliated with the Nigerian Baptist Convention.[1]
History
The university was founded on 17 July 2001 by the Nigerian Baptist Convention in the old 1,300-acre (6 km2) campus of the Baptist College.[2][3] The Federal Government of Nigeria approved the establishment of the university and it was subsequently licensed to operate by the National Universities Commission (NUC). A Provisional Governing Council was inaugurated on 22 August 2001, with Professor J.T. Okedara as Vice Chancellor and Mr E. A. Lawale as Registrar. Academic activity started on 4 November 2002, with 506[4] students admitted into the Faculties of Agriculture, Science, Science Education, and Social and Management Sciences.[5] In 2009, the NUC approved degree programmes in Medicine (MBBS), Anatomy (B.Sc) and Physiology (B.Sc) into the university and in 2011, Bowen University received approvals to begin the Faculty of Humanities and Faculty of Law. In 2017, the University had about 5,000 students.[6] In 2018, the university launched a radio station[7] which was managed and operated by their Mass Communications Department.
