Stella Maris Polytechnic University - SMPU Speciality : Civil & Structural Engineering
programme: Civil Engineering

Stella Maris Polytechnic University stands as a well-structured institution comprising four distinct colleges: Arthur Barclay Business College, Monsignor Stephen Kyne Technical College, Bishop John Collins Teachers College, and Monsignor John Oge Agriculture College.

One of the most vivid memories from my time on campus revolves around the challenging engineering exams. I took the initiative to organize study sessions, assisting my friends in grasping difficult concepts crucial for our examinations. Witnessing their progress, particularly among the female students, was deeply rewarding.

Beyond academic endeavors, the campus’s aesthetic charm left a lasting impression. As a hub for Architectural Engineering, I marveled at the visible works of architecture students scattered across the campus.

However, amidst these enriching experiences, one significant limitation loomed over the university. Liberia’s status as a low-income country posed challenges in recruiting qualified professors and experts, particularly in the field of engineering. Consequently, the university faced a substantial shortage of competent instructors, hindering the quality of education provided.
