The university is an accredited Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree school[3] It has been called South Africa's "first low-cost tertiary education institution."[3] Students who qualify for the business degree program receive a full scholarship including books, accommodations, transportation and tuition.[4] According to the university, more than 1,500 students have graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.[5] CIDA City Campus services 800 disadvantaged students and 80% of its graduates are reported to have found full-time employment upon graduation.[6]
CIDA City Campus launched an educational program called, Mastery Academy of Construction, and began receiving financial support from the construction company Murray & Roberts, Barloworld and its Letsema Sizwe Trust in 2007.[13]
The university suspended its first year program in 2009 to allow for a restructuring that would create a certificate for those that did not qualify for the BBA program.[3] In June the university signed an agreement with Bournemouth University of Britain to create a school for tourism and hospitality. Using its CIDA Empowerment Fund, the university purchased a 25% ownership in Cambridge University Press.[14] In December 2012 CIDA City Campus became financially distressed and was put under the control of a business rescue firm.[7]
