Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) is a public university in Morogoro, Tanzania, specializing in agriculture.[1][2] The university is named after the country's second prime minister Edward Sokoine.
Historically, SUA traces its roots to 1965 when it emerged as a program of the then-international University of East Africa. When that was dissolved in 1970, the Tanzanian agriculture program fell under the purview of the University of Dar es Salaam. Finally, it was spun off as a university in its own right in 1984.
SUA has five campuses, and contains five academic colleges and two schools. It provides bachelor's, master's, and PhDs in a variety of fields, many of which center around agriculture. At least two Tanzanian politicians have been affiliated with the university.
