Valley View University Ghana
In 1979, the West African Union of Seventh-Day Adventists established this great institution. At the time of its conception, the school was named Adventist Missionary College and was located in Bekwai-Ashanti. After a few years in 1983, the school was moved to Adenta, Accra, and finally to its current location in Oyibi.
Since a Christian institution founded the school, it is safe to assume that Christianity is the baseline of its operations. This, however, does not mean that the university discriminates against its students based on their religion. Valley View University is open to all students of any religion, as long as they will accept the Christian principles that the school was founded on.
