In science, we have systematization, rationality and predictability applied universally and it is opposed to common sense. Scientific truths or universal truths and its found true everywhere and scientific ideals are for everyone to cherish. Social science involves scientific study of economics, anthropology, sociology and other realms of human knowledge and study of society. The college of social science facilitates study of social science subjects in an academic setting applied to various fields of economics, and other related subjects as history, languages and literature, geography and environmental studies. It is just that not only students are taught on theory but also practical applicability and its relevance in real life setting applied to Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular.
