In 2022 the new Episcopal University of South Sudan gained accreditation from the Government of South Sudan, enabling it to confer degrees in law and certificates in theology from its existing campus in Juba. The stage has been set for adding degree programs in business, agriculture, and nursing. The infrastructure of a new much larger campus of four square kilometers is being created in Rokon Diocese, where wells, largely financed by a bequest from the late AFREC Executive Director Richard Parkins, have been dug and funds for fencing have been secured.
The current shortage of university opportunities in South Sudan is depriving more than 12,000 students of the university experience. The new university is designed to provide training in a variety of disciplines essential for the future prosperity of South Sudan. Even more significant, it will provide an important Christian ethical foundation for university study. Students of all faiths are welcome.
