The programs 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 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.
To this end, we offer the following Bachelor’s degrees in the
International Track:
·
Development
Studies (BA)
·
International
Relations (BA)
·
Political
Science (BA)
·
Public
Administration (BA)
·
Public
Policy (BA)
This program focuses on an interdisciplinary approach to 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 Environment Studies. 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 program aims to provide students with an
understanding of theory and practice of management in the public sector; and
thus to prepare students to take responsible positions in governmental
organizations. Reflecting the common underlying
principles for efficient organization and management, students doing a major in
Public Administration attend the same core courses as those doing majors in the
College of Management (this also maximizes the graduate's flexibility when it
comes to developing their careers). Thereafter, they can choose from a number
of courses designed to give them insights into the particular problems
associated with the routine running of the public sector and the rational
implementation of policies.
