Formerly under the College of Law, the College of Social Sciences became an independent College since 2003 when the departments of Law, Financial Law and John Paul II Peace Research Center formed the School of Law.

Within the College are five departments that offer undergraduate majors and master's programs in Economics, Sociology, Social Work, Religious Studies and Psychology; two professional master's programs and two doctoral programs in Religious Studies and Psychology; two programs for Non-Profit Organization Management and Catholic Studies; one Social Development Studio for Aborigines and two centers for International Partnership and Health & Assessment at Occupational Field.
