The major foundation of what has become Bowen University today was laid in 1854. That year, the family of the late Rev. Thomas Jefferson Bowen started a school in Ijaiye Orile in the present Oyo State of Nigeria. The School, comprising five stewards of the late Bowens, five other labourers, and a few others drawn to the fledgling school by sheer curiosity, has grown from this little beginning in 1854 into thousands of Baptist Primary and Secondary Schools scattered across the country. By 1960, there was a Baptist school almost everywhere there was found a Baptist congregation.
The idea of establishing a Baptist University in Nigeria was first conceived in 1938. This was borne out of the Baptist commitment to assist the people to develop their potentials to the fullest. The first bold step towards actualising this vision was not taken until 1956 when a proposal was presented to the meeting of the Baptist Mission held in Eku from 11th to 14th December, 1956. On 16th and 17th July, 1957, the joint meeting of the Executive Committees of the Baptist Mission of Nigeria and the Nigerian Baptist Convention endorsed the idea. Since then, the Nigerian Baptist Convention has worked tirelessly, committing time, material and human resources to actualising the vision. Today, all these efforts have crystallised into the establishment of Bowen University, a significant landmark in the academic heritage of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, making it the first Baptist University in Africa.
On 17th of July, 2001, the Federal Government of Nigeria approved the establishment of Bowen University and was subsequently licensed to operate by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
On 4th November, 2002, Bowen University commended academic activities with 506 pioneering students admitted into its three faculties: Agriculture, Science and Science Education, and Social and Management Sciences.
In 2009, the National Universities Commission (NUC) gave approval to the University to offer the degree programmes in Medicine (MBBS), Anatomy (B.Sc) and Physiology (B.Sc). In June 2011, NUC also gave approval to the University to establish the Faculty of Humanities and Faculty of Law. The Faculty of Humanities began immediately in 2012 while the Council of Legal Education sent its own Panel of Facility Visitation inAugust 2012 and gave approval in December the same year. These programmes have commenced in earnest.”][/headings][spacing desktop_height=”40″ mobile_height=”40″ smobile_height=”40″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][spacing desktop_height=”130″ mobile_height=”60″ smobile_height=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][spacing desktop_height=”120″ mobile_height=”60″ smobile_height=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1634651739620{background-image: url(https://bowen.edu.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Bowen3-e1634588221166.png?id=19114) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][spacing desktop_height=”132″ mobile_height=”60″ smobile_height=”60″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][singleheading heading_color=”#ffffff” heading_bottom_margin=”20px” line_width=”” line_height=”” line_color=”” heading_font_family=”Montserrat” heading_font_weight=”700″ heading_font_size=”14px” heading_letter_spacing=”2px” heading=”OUR LATEST TOUR VIDEO”][headings alignment=”” heading_color=”#ffffff” heading_width=”700px” heading_font_size=”55px” heading_font_size_mobile=”36px” heading=”Let’s Take a Virtual Tour of Our Campus”][/headings][spacing desktop_height=”45″ mobile_height=”30″ smobile_height=”30″][buttons text=”VIRTUAL TOUR” text_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”2PX” rounded=”5px” text_color_hover=”#42495b” background_color_hover=”#ffffff” border_color_hover=”#ffffff” icon_style=”icon_style_1″ link_url=”http://virtualtour.bowen.edu.ng”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][spacing desktop_height=”70″ mobile_height=”40″ smobile_height=”40″][videoicon video_url=”https://bowen.edu.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WhatsApp-Video-2020-11-11-at-2.57.39-PM.mp4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][spacing desktop_height=”160″ mobile_height=”60″ smobile_height=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”yes” full_width=”stretch_row_content” el_class=”overflow-inherit”][vc_column][contentbox bg_size=”cover” padding=”80px 100px 80px 100px” mobile_padding=”60px 60px 60px 60px” margin=”-100px 13% 0 13%” mobile_margin=”-100px 8% 0 8%” background_color=”#f7c210″ translatex=”0″ translatey=”0″][gridbox grid=”4″ border_type=”no” gaph=”30″][counter alignment=”text-center” icon_type=”extraicon” icon_color=”#ff9900″ icon_font_size=”40px” number_color=”#ffffff” time=”5000″ suffix_color=”#ffffff” heading_color=”#ffffff” number_font_size=”55px” heading_font_size=”18px” number_top_margin=”10px” icon_extraicon=”eduk-city” number=”20″ heading=”Years of Establishment”][counter alignment=”text-center” icon_type=”extraicon” icon_color=”#ff9900″ icon_font_size=”40px” number_color=”#ffffff” time=”5000″ suffix_color=”#ffffff” heading_color=”#ffffff” number_font_size=”55px” heading_font_size=”18px” number_top_margin=”10px” icon_extraicon=”eduk-stars” number=”100″ number_suffix=”%” heading=”University’s Academic Standard”][counter alignment=”text-center” icon_type=”extraicon” icon_color=”#ff9900″ icon_font_size=”40px” number_color=”#ffffff” time=”5000″ suffix_color=”#ffffff” heading_color=”#ffffff” number_font_size=”55px” heading_font_size=”18px” number_top_margin=”10px” icon_extraicon=”eduk-user-graduate” number=”60″ number_suffix=”%” heading=”Employable Graduates”][counter alignment=”text-center” icon_type=”extraicon” icon_color=”#ff9900″ icon_font_size=”40px” number_color=”#ffffff” time=”5000″ suffix_color=”#ffffff” heading_color=”#ffffff” number_font_size=”55px” heading_font_size=”18px” number_top_margin=”10px” icon_extraicon=”eduk-user-friends” number=”4500″ number_suffix=”+” heading=”Student Number”][/gridbox][/contentbox][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1573542996366{background-image: url(http://ninzio.com/edukul/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/testimonials-bg.png?id=13445) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][spacing desktop_height=”120″ mobile_height=”60″ smobile_height=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
