ABOUT ALU

ALU provides higher education for a higher purpose. Our students declare missions, not majors.
They develop the real-world skills to take on the world’s most pressing challenges. And they take ownership of their learning from day one through our peer and student-led approach – because ALU believes in the power and agency of young people to start shaping the future right now.
Together with a world-class faculty and staff, our students are igniting a ripple of positive impact across Africa and the world.

HOW WE WORK

As a high-growth start-up, the ALU Team works in starkly different ways to traditional academic bureaucracies. We approach education from first principles, empower individuals to design, test, and implement creative new ideas, and work closely together to craft transformative learning experiences. We are deeply passionate about our students and excited by the challenge of building something entirely new.

ABOUT E-LAB

The Entrepreneurial leaders’ Action Lab (E-LAB) is a space to explore and engage in complex issues while discovering one's entrepreneurial identity. The program is the engine of ALU’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and is supported by the Community programming streams.

E-LAB is one-third of the integrated synchronous, in-person, non-credit bearing experience synthesizing Missions: Radical thinking, Introduction to Global Challenges and Opportunities, and Entrepreneurial Literacy around complex design challenges.

HOW WE WORK

The program empowers individuals to design, test, and implement creative new ideas and works closely together to craft transformative learning experiences. We are deeply passionate about our students and excited by the challenge of building something entirely new.
