In 1993, the Graduate School of Counseling Psychology (GSCP) was finalized and a program of studies leading to Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (M.S.CP) was submitted to the Ministry of University Affairs and approved. In mid-2004, the GSCP was changed to Graduate School of Psychology (GSP). The new program under the GSP was the Master of Arts in Family and Individual Studies (MAIFS) program, and the only English doctoral program in Counseling Psychology in the country (Ph.D.CP). In 2011, a new program, Master of Arts in Psychology (MAP), was introduced to replace the Master of Arts in Family and Individual Studies (MAIFS) program.
The Graduate School of Philosophy and Religion (GSPR) was founded in June 1993. Initially, it offered two programs: MA in philosophy and an MA in religious studies. It established a Ph.D. program in philosophy in October 1997 and a Ph.D. program in religious studies in June 2001. All four programs are recognized by the Office of Higher Education Commission (OHEC). Since 2012, two programs – MA in philosophy and religion and Ph.D. in philosophy and religion – were approved by the University Council and recognized by the OHEC.
Assumption University initiated the Graduate School of Education (GSEd) providing three famous programs comprising two M.Ed. programs in 1998 — the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction and the Master of Education in Educational Administration — and the Doctor of Philosophy program in Educational Leadership in 2004.
As stated in our vision, our programs are aimed at preparing excellent educational leaders who possess and are able to apply their professional knowledge, desirable attitudes, skills, and habits in developing learners to their fullest potential in a culturally diverse and rapidly changing postmodern world.
On March 1, 2012, in order to strengthen the capability of the GSEd and GSP, the Rector Magnificus issued the Assumption University Order No. 32/2012 – transfer of management of all programs under the GSP to come under the direct jurisdiction of the Graduate School of Education.
Effective on August 1, 2015, the University issued the order No. 3.3/2015 merging Graduate School of Education, Graduate School of Psychology, and Graduate School of Philosophy and Religion under the name of Graduate School of Education and Human Sciences.
Later on, effective on November 1, 2015, the University issued the order No. 386/2015, changing the name of the Graduate School of Education and Human Sciences to the Graduate School of Human Sciences under the jurisdiction of the Dean of the Graduate School of Human Sciences.
