"After more than three decades of the rich experiences gained and the
effective contribution made to the country at large, the then
Alemaya College of Agriculture was upgraded to a full-fledged
University of Agriculture on May 27, 1985. ...On 18th of August
1994, the Council of Ministers issued a Regulation to provide for the reorganization
of the Alemaya University of Agriculture in which the latter was reorganized
as an autonomous higher education institution having its own legal personality.
... Since 1996 the University opened two faculties in its regular undergraduate
program; these are the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Thus, paving the way for promoting and advancing a diversified
field of training and in the process transforming itself from a purely agricultural
university to a multi-disciplinary university. It is in full recognition of
such a trend that in late 1999 the University Board named the University as
Alemaya University. ...Alemaya University is located about 510 kms from Addis
Ababa in the Eastern Hararghe Zone at a distance of about 20 kms and 40 kms
