Social Science and Humanities is one of the colleges and institutes of the University. It is the largest college in terms of the number of diversities of departments and units. It has been functional starting September/2008. According to the recent document produced by the Universities BPR (Business Reengineering Process) Team, there are about 20 unities (disciplines) clustered under 5 departments. Now, all programs are given for first degrees in applied science. However, we plan to open masters program after 2 years or 3 years, at least in some fields.

Due to the fact that the University is young (established only 3 years ago), most of the units in the college are not functional. Of course, we proposed to open the in the near future.

The functional unites are as follows:

• Amharic Language
• English
• Civics and ethical studies
• Geograpy and Environmental Studies
• HistorY
• Law
• Psychology

Most of the instructors are 2nd degree holders .Moreover, we have many instructors who are doing their PhD study in local Universities and abroad. The college is led by one dean and each department by one department head. In turn, each unit, by a unit leader.
