Introduction

The School of Earth Sciences, Real Estate Studies, Business and Informatics (SERBI)has evolved into its present name after the merging of the former two Schools, namely: School of Geospatial Sciences and Technology (SGST and School of Real Estate Studies (SRES)). The merging was occasioned by a need to strengthen organizational and administrative capacity, increase students’ enrolment and optimize service delivery to meet the three core functions of the Ardhi University (teaching, research and consultancy).
