Mwenge Catholic University (MWECAU), formerly Mwenge University College of Education (MWUCE, a constituent college of SAUT), is a secular and private institution of higher learning owned and managed by the Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC). It was established in 2005 in response to Government request for private organisations to become involved in higher education as the successor to St. Joseph Teachers College that opened to Diploma in Education courses in July 2001. MWUCE offered Bachelor of Education in Science until later when it diversified its degree programmes to Bachelor of Education Art and other none-education degree programmes.. Although a Catholic University, MWECAU maintains an open access of equal opportunities for both staff and students regardless of gender, Ethnicity, nor religious orientations
