The BlueCrest Way
BlueCrest, a technologically advanced university, makes sure that technology is highly valued and given priority in all areas of the program.

The ultimate goal is to graduate students who can generate an increasing number of jobs to make Liberia independent and powerful.

OUR MISSION
To incorporate in a self-sustainable approach, the use of new-age technology, learning processes, global alliances and an exemplary governance culture to enhance the delivery of value to student community, industry and other stakeholders.
History of BlueCrest
BlueCrest was conceived as an higher education institute for making Information Technology (IT) as the pivot of integrated higher educational excellence. It was acknowledged and observed that resources can be made more affordable, accessible and available through IT support systems. This can be possible only if Information Technology is absorbed as a powerful learning tool for making social and business aspects prospective and established.
Information Technology by the late 1990's had evolved as a domain to integrate different learning portfolios and had world wide relevance. Liberia, was observed as a country blessed with resources, but had to deliver purposeful results. The growth of a country progresses only if there are valuable support systems delivered. Information Technology was recognised as the benchmark to make progress as a reality, by all means.
This was found to be possible, only if Information Technology is made to evolve as an appreciated learning platform by the citizens of Liberia. in the year 2013, Information Technology at BlueCrest was conceptualized as a mission to make higher education vivid and explicit. The Government of the Republic of Liberia provided all necessary support to formalize BlueCrest's presence in Liberia.
In April 2014, the Ministry of Education under the government of Republic of Liberia awarded the letter of accreditation to BlueCrest as an International I.T. Institute, to operationalize vocational courses. While the country struggled against deadly EBOLA virus outbreak in 2014, BlueCrest persevered and continued to operate and provided the government with all much needed support.
As the country recovered from the scourge of Ebola in early 2015, BlueCrest was firmly positioned to help rebuild the nation through its capacity building programs for the Liberian youth. To express governmental support, several dignitaries from the Liberian Government visited the campus regularly and appreciated and acknowledged BlueCrest from time to time. BlueCrest status was found to be of international standards, for further ratings.
In 2015, National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE) granted a Permanent Permit to BlueCrest to offer Undergraduate Degrees - Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSC IT) and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). This was possible only after a successful due diligence was conducted by the Ministry of Education and NCHE. BlueCrest then grew and progressed and made sure that "Quality" will always be the benchmark for success and sustainability.
In November 2023, BlueCrest was elevated and accredited to offer Master’s Program in Information Technology (MSc IT)
Apart from Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs as mentioned above , BlueCrest at Liberia is already an established name in Liberia for offering professional certification programs. BlueCrest has been offering Diploma and Certificate Courses in advanced Information Technology programs like - Software Engineering, Networking, Big Data Analysis, Data Science, Cyber Security, Project Management, Digital Marketing and other Professional courses in Fashion and Design, Management etc.
BlueCrest as an higher education learning platform has been patronized by students, professionals and employers since inception. It has already become the first choice for Information Technology and Professional education and training in Liberia
