Dar es Salaam Tumaini University (DarTU), formerly TUDARCo entry requirements

Dar es Salaam Tumaini University (DarTU) is the outcome of the transformation of Tumaini University Dar es Salaam College (TUDARCo) into a fully-fledged University in January 2024.

The latter was established in 2003. It formerly operated as the Waldorf College Tanzania from 1997. The Waldorf College Tanzania (WCT) was established by the Wildorf College, Iowa Forest Hill of the United States of America.

In 2001, the Waldorf College Council decided to close her operations in Tanzania and the College was handed over to the Eastern and Coastal Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ECD-ELCT). The Waldorf College Tanzania then joined the Tumaini University family and changed its name to Tumaini University Dar es Salaam College (TUDARCo).

Thus, TUDARCo was born from WCT on 1st April 2003 as a constituent College of Tumaini University, joining Makumira, KCMUCo and Iringa University College, which existed during that time.
