Currently, it hosts two Departments - the Department of Social Sciences and Department of Education; and 27 programmes which include one PhD programme, four Master programmes, One Post-graduate Diploma Programme, eight Undergraduate programmes, seven Diploma programmes and three certificate programmes. All the degree and Post-graduate Diploma programmes have been approved and accredited by the Commission for University Education (CUE) while the Diploma and Certificate programmes have been approved by the St. Paul’s University Senate.

The aim of the school is to offer quality programmes in Social Science areas of study that focus not just on the market needs but on enabling graduates to be creative and effectively function in a global community. We thus focus not only on the knowledge but also in inculcating values and spiritual formation through the curriculum and co-curricular activities as well as structured and inbuilt practicums that enable students to interact and learn from the world of work and the community. We value the input of all stakeholders in our programmes. We therefore engage stakeholders in the development and review of our programmes in order to improve the quality of our programmes and our graduates. The positive feedback we get from employers is a testimony on the quality of our graduates. The faculty is committed to continuously improve existing programmes and develop new ones that address the needs of the Society.
