With its inception as Dilla College of Teachers’ Education and Health Sciences (DCTEHS) in 1996, the current Dilla University was organized as part of the then newly emerging Debub (Literarily means South University) in the year 2001. In its early ages, the college began the teaching-learning with small number of students, which gradually grew to host 12 departments. Through process, the Council of Ministers granted DCTEHS certification as an independent and full-fledged university in 2006 (Proclamation No.129/1999). At this junction, it is noteworthy to mention that, the college has been the icon of quality graduates with great reputation both at regional, national levels and even beyond, especially in the teaching profession until recently.
