Academic Programmes

The College of Social and Management Sciences, ABUAD, is segmented into three faculties – Social Sciences, Management Sciences and Humanities. The Social Science faculty covers human behaviour in relation to scarce resources and its authoritative allocation, with security of lives, liberty and property through intelligence gathering and the role of the media. It includes man’s interactions with others and his environment in a way that would avoid or minimize conflicts through peace-building, social justice and strong institutions. It further, includes relations and political activities among the sovereign states of the world ecotourism and other globalization issues. Our Social Science faculty, thus, houses Economics, Political Science, Intelligence and Security Studies, Media and Communication Studies, Sociology and Social Justice, Peace and Conflict Studies, International Relations and Diplomacy as well as Tourism and Events Management.

The Management Science faculty covers the administration of business organisation through the management of human resources, financial and other resources by separating ownership from stewardship (i.e. control of organisational resources), thus providing the basis for stewardship accounting. It also involves the development of entrepreneurial, managerial and analytical skills. Thus, our Management Sciences faculty houses Business Administration (i.e. Management), Entrepreneurship, Finance and Accounting. Also, the faculty of Arts and Humanities covers creative arts, demanding specific performances, cultural arts and lingua franca. Thus, our Arts and Humanities faculty houses Performing Arts and Foreign Languages.

The College is ably managed by a cream of intellectuals in their respective disciplines. It is headed by a Provost, who coordinates the activities of the various Departments and Programmes. The current Provost of the College is Professor Christopher Aina, a Professor of Tourism and Event Management. The various Departments are manned by competent Heads of Departments, who are directly responsible to the Provost of the College. Each Head of Department is a Professor, and where a Head of Department is in the acting capacity, the rank is not below a Senior Lecturer except where it is a Coordinator.
