College of Business and Social Sciences

The College of Business and Social Sciences (CBS) is the largest of the three colleges in the University. As at the 2004/2005 session, the students' population was put at 2000. The College is guided by a very clear and compelling vision of sound scholarship, academic excellence, truth and respect for the worth and dignity of individuals of all levels.
