Welcome to the Spiritan University College, ejisu-ghana.

Spiritan University College started as an Institute of philosophy to give the first stage of priestly and missionary formation uniquely to candidates of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit. It was opened on 17th December, 1990 and the foundation stone was laid by Very Rev. Fr. Pierre Haas, C.S.Sp.  and blessed by the Most Rev. Peter Kwasi Sarpong.

In 1997, an initial two year programme was broadened to cover three years leading to the award of a Diploma in Philosophy and Religious Studies. In 2002, the proprietors decided to raise the academic standard to enable graduates to meet the intellectual challenges of the society of the day. Added to this, the proprietors saw the need to bring the benefits of Catholic and Spiritan education to the youth of Ghana and Africa by opening the doors of the College to the wider public.

The College was accredited by the National Accreditation Board on 25th September, 2005.
On 15th May, 2008, the College signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to offer Bachelors degree in Philosophy and Social Sciences. On June 20th 2008, the University college status was inaugurated.

The vision of Spiritan University College is grounded in the motto, “Spiritus Veritatis” (Spirit of Truth). It has the vision to become an academia of excellence in research and teaching in truth and wisdom in African Philosophy, human and social sciences in Ghana and West Africa and to disseminate productive information for national development and also for the progress of the Church.

Spiritan University College is a Catholic University founded by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, the Spiritans. Spiritan University College is devoted to helping students to seek practical wisdom and truth and develop a harmonious relationship between faith and reason. This is done through comprehensive quality liberal, professional, Catholic and Spiritan education in a serene and conducive environment.

Like any Catholic institution, the College has a student centred ethos of education and lays much emphasis on participatory and discovering methods that enable students to develop well integrated personalities.

Originally devoted to the training of religious, missionaries and social workers for the Church and the society at large, the College has opened its doors to the general public and trains civil leaders, business entrepreneurs to be good and productive citizens, and bring moral and social values and skills to bear on their social, business and political responsibilities.

As a Spiritan institution, we are committed to the poor and the marginalized in our society.

Beginning with education in the humanities, the College has the vision to venture into the training of personnel in business, education computer science and law.
