List of Private Universities in Ghana

In addition to the public educational institutions within Ghana, the country is home to a multitude of privately run universities.

A substantial majority of these private institutions have obtained accreditation from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), which grants them the authority to offer a diverse range of academic programs.

Diverging from public universities, which are under the exclusive purview of the central government, private universities are typically owned by individuals, institutions, faith-based organizations, or even religious entities such as churches.

As of the current academic year, the Commission for Tertiary Education has conferred accreditation upon over 100 private tertiary institutions, allowing them to provide a spectrum of HND and degree programs.

GTEC has asserted that all accredited private universities in Ghana have meticulously adhered to the requisite procedures, ensuring they are duly authorized to conduct tertiary education programs for students.
