This College together with the other five colleges was established in the year 1984. However, the history of the College can be traced back to 1956 when it started as the Royal Technical College which used to admit students from the whole of the East African region. Therefore the college is as old as the University of Nairobi. The College is constituted by the Schools of Engineering, the Built Environment, the Arts and Design and the Institute of Nuclear Science. The Principal’s office is located along the Harry Thuku Road, on the 2nd floor of the Administration block, Main Campus. The School of Engineering and the Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology are also located along the Harry Thuku road, next to the Central Police Station. The School of the Built Environment and the School of the Arts and Design are located along the State House Road, opposite the YMCA hostels. The college has played a key role in the development of the nation and region both infrastructural and economically. Students from most of the countries in this region have received training here and have applied their knowledge to solving practical problems for government departments and agencies, local authorities and private sector organizations. The College is constituted by the Schools of Engineering, the Built Environment, the Arts and Design and the Institute of Nuclear Science. The current Principal of the College is Eng. Prof. B.N.K.

In 1963 the responsibility for organizing the extra-mural studies in Kenya was transferred to a new Extra-Mural Department of the University College, Nairobi. In the same year, the College of Social Studies, Kikuyu, which had run an independent center for residential adult education since 1961, was absorbed into the University College, Nairobi. The centre was then amalgamated with the Extra-Mural Department, thus forming the Institute of Adult Studies. In 1966, the two departments were integrated under one director and the residential center was renamed the Adult Studies Center. In 1967, the Correspondence Course Unit was established as another arm of the Institute. The three departments of the institute were officially referred to as the Extra- Mural Division, the Adult Studies Center and the Correspondence Course Unit. In 1983, the Institute of Adult Studies was accorded College status and became the College of Adult and Distance Education following the recommendations of the Inspection and Visitations Committee which established six Colleges of the University of Nairobi. Meanwhile, a new Faculty of External Studies was established. The School of External Studies and the Institute of Adult Education were moved to the new Faculty as departments. The Institute of Extra-Mural Studies also became a department of the Faculty of External Studies. In 1988, the University of Nairobi revived the Faculty of Education and situated it at the College of Adult and Distance Education. The College was then, re-organized, re-structured and renamed the College of Education and External Studies (CEES). Sixteen years later a center for Open and Distance Learning was created. In the year 2006 the College was restructured into Schools and a center. These are the School of Education, School of Continuing and Distance Education and the Center for Open and Distance Learning. The administrative office of the College, Schools and the Centre are located at the Kikuyu Campus, 21 Kms west of Nairobi. The Department of Extra-Mural Studies has six regional centers with full-time staff, in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Kakamega, Nakuru and Nyeri. Other regional centers as well as sub-centers are being created and developed throughout the country.
