Economics
History of the Faculty of Economics
The Faculty of Economics at Kandahar University was established in 1388 (2009) to address the needs of the southern-western region of the country and to solve existing economic problems. It was established after the faculties of Agriculture, Medicine, Engineering, Education, and Sharia. In 1389 (2010), the faculty was incorporated into the university's structure. Initially, only the BBA (Business Bachelor Administration) department started operating. For the first time, in 1389, the Ministry of Higher Education introduced 117 students through the university entrance exam (Kankor) for higher education, of which two were female and 115 were male students.
Thanks to the efforts and hard work of the university's leadership, a building for the Faculty of Economics was constructed in 1391 (2012) and became operational. Since its establishment, the faculty has consistently attracted students in various fields, and up until now, it has graduated 11 batches of students who have served the community. Additionally, the faculty also offers evening programs. In 1392 (2013), the evening Faculty of Economics was approved, and it began teaching with the enrollment of 55 students. Currently, the Faculty of Economics operates both day and evening programs, with one department (Management and Entrepreneurship) actively teaching, and the remaining four departments are in the process of capacity development.
Given the current resources of the Faculty of Economics, it has been able to systematically admit all students introduced to the Faculty by the Ministry of Higher Education and provide them with necessary academic facilities. Additionally, graduates from the 14th batch of the institutes are also admitted to the second year through the university entrance exam.
