Abstract

The liberalization of tertiary education has seen private universities outstripping the public universities in Ghana. The private sector is expected to augment the provision of tertiary education to service the masses with academic ability. The study set out to explore how the private universities were aiding to meet the ever rapidly growing demand for tertiary education in the country. It was conducted in one of the arguably best private universities in the country using 10 % of its enrolment as a sample size. The evidence of the survey shows that private universities are playing a pivotal role in supplementing state’s efforts in university education provisioning by offering opportunities for the poor also. The significance of the study is that it has provided baseline information on the private university’s ability to augmenting the attempt to equalize access to university education in the country.
