It's a good thing your dad was not Kibaki's dad!!!

@AlphDoti - The last time I checked KU was in problems with the Engineering Board for starting Engineering courses without a single qualified lecturer in the areas of specialization, no labs etc. Did they ever sort that out? And how serious is their Computer Science program? KU have a habit of combining classes across departments - even practical oriented units - totally compromising quality!! You might end up with a class of 350 students being taught JAVA with a microphone!!! Do some investigation on these before choosing KU.

@Maka, A- in 2012 is the new average!!!unless she can afford module 2, you will be so surprised that she can’t even 'qualify' for the course(UON). She will end up doing sociology, psychology and the likes.

Economics and Stats is a good combination if you are looking for a career in the following:
-Economist (CBK, KIPRA, lecturer, some of the big banks)
-Econometrician-ditto
-Development economics (you may need further studies for this)-NGOs
-Economics research-same as above two
-Equity analyst working for any of the 20 or so brokers and fund managers.

To get other more lucrative positions, they'll need another qualification

Ask her to join wazua and then post the question herself.

Why are you researching courses for her? She's grown up and should now make her own decisions.

@Bree...Uuuumh not really, infact in a whole different field (think we share the same career path if iI rem you well from those wazua mbuzis'). Anyway my point was, She must have done her background check before she came to appreciate the course on her own. I cant over emphasize on the importance of these qualification, may be just may be one need to look at the requirements of any serious job offered by such organization as UNDP

who's going to pay for parallel now!!!

Certified Treasury Professional,Certified Treasury Manager,Enterprise Risk Manager,Financial Risk Manager,Certified wealth manager,an Msc in Developmental Finance,Msc in Risk Management,Msc in Finance and Economics...the list is endless...leo jioni ask her whats her end game then you can set up a game plan to achieve this...

@blackcobra, sometimes, esp in academic cases a rose is not rose by any other name

To some extent the first degree does 'open' ones mind to think on a wholistic approach
Let her take the degree of choice in any of the 22 universities.
I have a pal who is a marketer and doing well financially but did BA (baba alinituma) English & literature for 1st degree before pursing some business MGT under KIM.

On other related matter, I have noted in atleast 3 universities,most of students taking BCOM avoid accounting specialization in 3rd year.
Finance option has become very common. I 'd however advise it is better to appreciate to prepare FS [as per accounting option] before they embark on analysing FS to assist in decision making on Financing, Dividend,Investment and Working capital management [Finance option]
