The Acting President of the University of Liberia, Dr. Al Hassan Conteh revealed that the curriculum and faculty needed for the programs have been assessed and accepted, and that final formalities are being worked on to ensure the success of the PhD services.
“The University of Liberia will soon seek accreditation for these programs from the Association of African Universities and other science based educational institutions in the United States”, Dr. Conteh stated.
The PhD programs are expected to further engineer the university’s quest of being among the top institutions of higher in the West African region, an ambition that has been nursed for over seven years.

“We have rekindled the University of Liberia’s partnership with several universities in Africa, India and the United States of America to boost capacity building and potential training programs for the faculties”, said Dr. Conteh.
