The establishment of Chuka University was foretold way back in 1951 by a famous philanthropist and seer by the name Jerusha Kanyua. She prophesied that an academic mountain shall sprout at Ndagani. She advised the youth to take a pen like a spear and a book like a shield.

In 2004, the Egerton University Senate elected Prof. Erastus Njoka to chair a technical committee that was to among other things, explore the possibility of putting up a campus in the eastern part of the country. After several consultative meetings with education stakeholders in Eastern Province and Mount Kenya region, the Njoka Committee recommended to the University Senate to open a campus at Chuka due to its central location, a decision that was ratified by the Egerton University Council on 17th September, 2004

Between September 2004 and August 2005, Egerton University embarked on renovation of structures within Ndagani educational complex in readiness for the opening of Egerton University Eastern Campus College (EUECC).Chuka University College was established through a Legal Notice No. 161 of 2007 as a Constituent College of Egerton University and the successor of the former Egerton University Eastern Campus College. The college was officially opened on August 1, 2005 and the then Egerton University Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ezra Maritim appointed Prof. Njoka as the Director of the new campus college. The Campus College was established on 27th September, 2004 by Egerton University Council in order to enhance access to high quality and affordable University education to the people of the Eastern region and Kenya at large.
