Colleges & Institutes
1. College Of Social Sciences
The College of Social Sciences (CSS) was
established in 1978 following the reorgani-
zation of Addis Ababa University (AAU).
Over the years since its establishment,
CSS experienced some changes that often
resulted from the departure and inclusion
of certain units.
With its rich experiences, expanding grad-
uate programs, research undertakings by
faculty and graduating students, publi-
cations, and networking, the College of
Social Sciences is well prepared not only to
advance the horizon of knowledge in the
broader academic realm but also contribute
to national development efforts, trans-cul-
tural understanding, and meeting other
challenges of the 21st Century.

5. College of Business &
Economics
The College of Business and Economics
consists of the former Faculty of Business
and Economics (established in November
1990) and the School of Commerce (estab-
lished in 1943).
The former Faculty of Business and Eco-
nomics originated with the creation of the
Department of Economics in 1959 under
the Faculty of Arts of the University Col-
lege of Addis Ababa. This was followed by
the establishment of the College of Business
Administration in 1963, which consisted
of the Department of Management and
the Department of Accounting. In 1978,
the College of Business Administration,
the Faculty of Arts and the School of Social
Work were merged to form the College
of Social Sciences. In 1990, the University
Senate decided to reorganize the College
of Social Sciences, which resulted in the es-
tablishment of the Faculty of Business and
Economics (FBE). Following the formation
of FBE, the Faculty Office moved from the
main campus to its present site in 1992.
The College runs various undergraduate
and post-graduate programs (MA, MSc and
PhD) and is committed to the promotion of
teaching and learning.
The College comprises of one school and
four departments.
• School of Commerce with six pro-
gram units:
1. Accounting,
2. Administrative Services Manage-
ment,
3. Business Administration and Infor-
mation Systems,
4. Finance and Development Econom-
ics,
5. Marketing Management,
6. Procurement and Supply Manage-
ment.
6. College of Development Studies
The Institute of Development Research (IDR), which was the precursor of the College of
Development Studies (CDS), was established in January 1972 as an integral part of the
University with the objectives of initiating, coordinating and directing interdisciplinary
research on the development problems of Ethiopia, and providing training in develop-
ment studies. In 2008, the IDR, Regional and Local Development Studies and Institute of
Gender Studies became the College of Development Studies. As of 2012, the College has
been reorganized into six centers:
1. Center for Gender Studies
2. Center for Environmental and Development Studies
3. Center for Rural Development Studies
4. Center for Regional and Local Development Studies
5. Center for Food Security Studies
6. Center for Population Studies
With its relatively well-organized and qualified faculty, CDS has been running post-
graduate training and carrying out research. Currently, the CDS runs two PhD and nine
Masters Programs.

in 2010 comprising the Yofetahe Negussies School of
Theatre Arts, the Yared School of Music and the Ale
School of Fine Arts and Design, the Cultural Centre and
Modern Art Museum, Gebre-Kirestos Desta Centre.
The units under the College were functioning separate-
ly for decades. Their independent contributions to the
advancement of arts in Ethiopia have been enormous.
However, it was studied and decided that the units
should be placed together under one college which can
integrate and strengthen their already existing activities.
8. College of Natural & Computational Sciences
The College of Natural and Computa-
tional Sciences, in its more than 60 years
of existence, has gone through various
stages of development which shows
that it has evolved from a small college
catering for a few students, to a large
BSc, MSc and PhD degree granting col-
lege. This growth of its programmes has
also been enhanced by increase in the
number and quality of the academics
staff and research activities in various
areas.

its first year, as a full-fledged academic
unit, it admitted 10 postgraduate students.
Since then, an average of 12 postgraduate
students join the program each year, and
this number is expected to increase to 25,
over the coming years. All the postgradu-
ate students join the study program under
the supervision of the staff of the Program

degrees in Biotechnology up to July 2012.
Most of these graduates are currently serv-
ing in higher education institutions and in
federal and regional research institutions.
18. Institute of Educational Research
The Institute of Educational Research began in the 1960s as research, documentation
and publication Unit. It was established as an arm of the Faculty of Education in 1968,
in order to foster and coordinate research activities in the Faculty. By 1983, the Unit
had expanded considerably to become an autonomous Institute and showed further
expansion when it annexed what used to be the University Testing Center in 1987. In
August 2000, the Institute was given a mandate to coordinate the Pedagogical Center
for Higher Education at the national level to enhance the teaching-learning aspects of
higher education. In September 2005, the Institute launched a graduate program in
Educational Research and Development.
The major activities of the Institute of Educational Research are research, communi-
ty services and teaching-learning. The Institute is organized into four major units,
namely, research and publications unit, test and measurement services unit, graduate
program unit and administration. The Institute has ten academic staff. Eight are PhDs,
and two are PhD students. Most of the academics have rich experience in teaching and
research.

The Horn of Africa Regional Environment
Centre and Network (HoA-REC&N) was
initiated by the Faculty of Science in 2006
through the support from the government
of the Kingdom of the Royal Netherlands.
In 2010 the University Senate established
HoA-REC&N as an autonomous centre
governed by a Board of Trustees, chaired
by the Vice President for Research and
Graduate Programme, accountable to the
President of the University.
The HoA-REC&N focuses on
environmental concerns and sustainable
development options within the Horn
of Africa. It facilitates, strengthens
and advocates for initiatives related to
environmental conservation and natural
resource management. The Network,
hosted by the Centre, constitutes more than
40 higher learning institutions and research
centres, endogenous civil society and
community based organisations in Djibouti,
Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and
Sudan. Eritrea is expected to be part of the
network in the future.
22. Institute of Development & Policy Research
In line with the Vision of the Addis Ababa University to become an eminent research
University in Africa, the Institute of Development and Policy Research (IDPR) was estab-
lished with the objective of conducting research that generates knowledge on multifacet-
ed and pertinent socioeconomic problems of the society as well as disseminating research
outputs which can serve as inputs for policy making and underpinning development
practices. The Institute came to reality in March 2014 with the appointment of its director.
The Institute:
• Promotes multi- and inter-disciplinary research on development and policy issues
and brings staff together for collaborative work;
• Provides a venue that caters to the research demands and needs of different gov-
ernment and non-government organizations on different development issues;
In late 2013, HoA-REC&N moved from
