Afaan Oromo

Overview

It is traceable that the department had been offering BEd degree in Afan Oromo for at least five years since 2004-2008. However, by offering BEd degree with the then curriculum, it was not possible for the department to supply the diverse demand for graduate of Afan Oromo in the country. Thus, in order to satisfy the existing current needs and the future demand of trained manpower in the language, for instance, to serve the community in public relation services in various government and non- governmental offices, to teach in high schools and teachers’ training institutes and colleges, and to serve in media and communication centers, it has become very significant to review and make more widen the existing curriculum. Accordingly, the current curriculum of the department was designed in 2009 in BA Degrees and the department has been producing professionals like journalists, public officers, translators, researchers, authors, artistes and others. In this days the department has been offering MA , BA and B.Ed  degrees in  Afan Oromo in regular, extension , weekend and summer in-service programmers.
