Historical background of College of Social Sciences and Humanities The college of Social Sciences and Humanities was initially started as faculty of Social Sciences with four departments, namely Applied Geography, Sociology, Psychology and Ethiopian languages and literature-Amharic in 2000 E.C. During the time (1999E.C), it was intimately working with Faculty of Education (Geography, History and English) and instructors were working inter-faculties. At the beginning, the Faculty was enrolled 141 students. In 2002 E.C. the faculty was reorganized to the College level and due to cease of Faculty of Education some departments (Applied Geography and Geography education) were merged and other departments like History, English and Amharic were incorporated under it. Since then, a number of departments were opened and today there are about 14 departments including the recently opened 3 new departments on the local languages.
