Rusangu University traces its historical roots in the Missionary endeavours of an American Missionary named William Harry Anderson who, until 1903, was the Principal of Solusi Mission in Zimbabwe. He crossed over in the company of several African Adventist workers namely: Jacob Detcha, Philip Malomo, Jack Mahlatini Mpofu and Andrew Nyakana and established Rusangu Mission in 1905.

Initially, Rusangu University opened in 1975 as Rusangu Ministerial School. It was the sole institution in the country that provided Ministerial training to most of the pastors serving the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Zambia. It later had its name changed to Zambia Adventist Seminary to broaden the scope of the theological training that was being offered. From 1993 to 1997, Rusangu Ministerial School was closed in order to re-organize it into a more vibrant entity.

In 1997, the institution’s name was changed to Zambia Adventist College due to its extended intended mission of incorporating other academic and professional disciplines in addition to theology. In the year 2000, the college re-opened and began to run In-ServiceTheological Programs at Riverside Farm Institute in Kafue in collaboration with Solusi University.

A historical landmark in May 2003 was made when Zambia Adventist College became Zambia Adventist University (ZAU). The University was subsequently registered as a private University under the University Act No. 11 of 1999. Eight years later, Zambia Adventist University was changed to its current name, Rusangu University.

With over 600, 000 Seventh-day Adventist members at the time, the need for a Seventh-day Adventist Institution of Higher Learning in Zambia was long overdue and indeed unquestionable. Needless to mention that, there were many Adventist youths and other youths in both public and private institutions who had no place to turn to for a balanced preparation for life. Therefore, Rusangu University, with its Christian philosophy of holistic and balanced education, came in to fill this gap.
