Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Heritage Christian University College (HCUC). The agreement enables HCUC to award degrees in taught undergraduate programmes in BA. Business Administration, BSc. Information Communication Technology and BA. Arts in Theology. The two parties also signed the institutional affiliation as well as the programmes affiliation.

Professor William Otoo Ellis, Vice Chancellor of KNUST, was pleased with the documents presented by HCUC and urged that the affiliation should aim at bringing mutual benefits to the institutions involved.  He advised that HCUC should join the Liaison Committee, an association for all affiliate institutions and a platform to share ideas and help solve challenges of the institutions.  

Professor Ellis admitted that the signing of the agreement had been long overdue, and this was as a result of the recent malpractices by some of the affiliate institutions. He explained that most of the institutions had failed to play their roles according to the principles in the contracts signed. He concluded that there would be joint teams from KNUST and HCUC for the purposes of vetting, auditing and admissions to monitor and co-ordinate affairs.

The President of HCUC, Dr. Samuel Twumasi-Ankrah expressed his gratitude and assured the Vice Chancellor that they would do all they could to comply with the details of the agreement. Finally, the Vice Chancellor presented the delegates from the Heritage Christian University College a Certificate of Affiliation.
