[2][3][4][5] In 1970, the Tanzania Union Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church found it necessary to establish a ministerial training institution for its workers.
In 1975, the Tanzania Union Mission combined the Adventist School of Health Evangelism (ASHE) at Heri Hospital in Kigoma and the ministerial course at Ikizu.
In 1992, the name was changed to Tanzania Adventist College (TAC) and the ministerial course was replaced by a two-year diploma program in theology.
Under this affiliation, TAC offered BA in theology and religion, BBA in accounting and management and diploma courses in education and business.
In September 2004, HEAC granted the University of Arusha (UoA) a certificate of Provisional Registration No.
