The courses offered by the College of Social Sciences aim to train students to think independently, critically, systematically and creatively. By encouraging them to develop an analytical approach, the different courses to provide students with the opportunity to analyze and assess human behavior in its socio-cultural contexts relevant to history, space and time. In this way, they will better appreciate the diversity of the world and the complexity of the human condition; and have a better understanding of human existence focused on respect, tolerance, and morality.
In addition, we hope to inspire students by engaging them in empirical and qualitative research as a tool for explaining social phenomena, In this way, their research findings will be of benefit for policy development purposes in the renaissance of Cambodia. Related to this is the aim of developing the students’ ability to analyze critically the foundations upon which cultural dimensions are built, and to communicate their ideas effectively.

The balance can be chosen from electives in programs outside the major: a student can choose to minor in a different discipline within this college or in another college.

Anthropology examines the interconnection of social, cultural, political, economic and physical aspects in the construction of human communities and individuals. The present program offers a general curriculum that integrates various fields:
- Biological and physical anthropology - evolution and diversity of humans in terms of biological and physical features.
- Socio-cultural anthropology – changes in human society, ranging from hunter-gatherers to modern industrialized nations.
- Medical anthropology - socio-cultural and epidemiological problems related to health and illness, traditional/folk and biomedical frameworks to the prevention of illness, and access to health care services among populations in transition.
- Archeology - the remains of past cultures (prehistoric and historic past) to understand how ancient people lived and to trace cultures and civilizations.
Thus the program draws on material from the social sciences, the physical sciences and the humanities. Hence, the objective of the general Anthropology curriculum is to stimulate students’ thinking in these dimensions.

As noted by the Asian Development Bank (2005: "Country Strategy and Program, 2005–2009", Kingdom of Cambodia) and others, Cambodia’s economy is based on the remaining (but remorselessly dwindling) natural and socio-cultural assets; and it must continue to be so, in the near future. In particular, two main sets of assets have been identified.
1) Agriculture, fisheries and forestry are a major source of revenue: the sustainable development of these income-generators, rather than their short-sighted exploitation, constitutes a major aspiration of the 2004–2008 Cambodia Rectangular Strategy
2) The tourist industry is another major source of foreign income; whilst this is mainly related to the country’s pre-colonial archaeological heritage, eco-tourism represents a potential new growth area in other regions of the country (reflected by proposals regarding the need for conservation in the 2004–2008 Cambodia Rectangular Strategy).
However, Cambodia faces many problems. In common with the rest of the world, there is the fact of increasing environmental degradation, as a result of pollution and other forms of ecological mismanagement. This is accentuated because of poverty and a lack of proper, enforceable legislation with regard to the long-sighted control of waste-disposal, mining and the exploitation of other resources.
The Development Studies program focuses on an interdisciplinary approach in international development as applied to developing countries and emerging economies, with a special focus on the Asia-Pacific region. The interdisciplinary approach to our program includes insights from Anthropology, Economics, Sociology, Political Science, and the Environment. Thus, the syllabus provides students with the opportunity to study issues in depth, taking into account a variety of perspectives.

As civilization evolves, the relationships between countries are becoming ever more complex. This is especially so with the rapid globalization which is taking place as a result of faster and increasingly sophisticated communication systems. The situation is further complicated by a return to religious fundamentalism in many parts of the world.
The International Relations program is designed to provide students with an understanding of how nations interact with each other. This is with particular reference to Cambodia's present situation as one nation in the world at large; how this has been affected by the past; and the possible implications for the future.

This is an interdisciplinary program that incorporates research done on women and gender. It seeks to raise crucial questions about the ways in which perceived differences between the sexes manifest themselves in the differential status of men and women, and to broaden understanding of gender as social and cultural constructs within the context of Cambodia and throughout the world. The Women's Studies program combines the scholarly traditions of each field (the humanities, the arts, the social and behavioral sciences, the life and physical sciences, and other areas) in new and productive ways to develop a culture of critical thinking about sexuality, gender, race, and class. Courses investigate the experiences of women in light of the social construction of gender and its meaning across cultures and historic periods. The program offers a wide range of courses taught by faculty members from many departments and programs.
