Background of the Establishment of the University: East Delta University (EDU) has been established in the port city of Chittagong located in the easternmost part of the deltaic Bangladesh. Its establishment as a private university was duly approved by the Government and the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 2006 to offer both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. In fact, the initiative to establish EDU was then undertaken by a corporate body called Chittagong Foundation, intellectuals, politicians, businessmen and social activists of Chittagong.
Founded on the principle of academic freedom, EDU opens its doors to those young men and women of the 21st century who will be ready to provide leadership to the community, society and nation of their own as well as to the global community at large. As a dynamic, diverse, not-for-profit private institution, EDU is dedicated to providing high quality educational programs of distinction and preparing students for lifelong learning and leadership roles in business and professionals. EDU also stands for excellence inside and outside the classroom, as well as for providing world class academic programs, library and research facilities, and job placements, which are the hallmarks of the university education. Hence, now one does not have to leave home in Chittagong and elsewhere in Bangladesh for quality education overseas. Quality education is now right at the doorstep, i.e. right here in Chittagong, the commercial capital of Bangladesh.
However, EDU’s commitment to quality education centers on focusing only in a very limited number of programs initially. It is a conscious decision to offer only in the areas where we can make a difference.
