The Academic Program Directorate (APD), formerly known as Academic Program Development and Review, has been recently restructured to include Academic Affairs and Staff Development, Curriculum and Program Development, English Language Improvement Program (ELIP), and Higher Diploma Program (HDP) since September 2017. With these offices, the APD is highly involved in monitoring the overall academic activities of the university to produce qualified professionals in diversified field of studies who can significantly contribute to the development of the country. Since its establishment, Debre Berhan University has launched need-based programs in the undergraduate and postgraduate programs – 46 undergraduate, 34 Master’s, and 2 PhD programs – to realize its mission of benefiting the community by working tirelessly on producing efficient graduates by offering research assisted quality education.
