Maseno University is a public university based in the Maseno district of the Kisumu County, Kenya, along the Equator.[1] It was fully fledged as a university in 2001, after being a constituent college of Moi University for a decade. It has over 10,000 students pursuing programmes offered in the university campuses and it is currently ranked among the best universities in Kenya.

The main campus located in Maseno Township along Kisumu-Busia road, 25 km from Kisumu City and 400 km northwest of Nairobi. Apart from the main campus, it has other four satellite campuses in Nairobi, Kisumu, Homa Bay, and an online campus known as the eCampus.[2]

The university has 12 schools and an institute offering various degrees, diplomas and certificates.

The eCampus, the first of its kind in Kenya, is a virtual campus that runs flexible online programmes both for on-campus students as well as off-campus students enrolled in various Maseno University programmes through eLearning.[3]

The name 'Maseno' was coined by Rev. J.J. Willis from the name of a tree known in local dialects as "Oseno" or "Oluseno" that stood next to the spot where the first missionaries in the region erected their base.[4]
