The College of Humanities and Social Sciences constitutes the School of Social Sciences; School of Psychology; School of Languages, Literature and Communication and the School of Liberal and Performing Arts. In addition to the schools, the College operates one institute and one centre - the Centre for Language and Communication Services.

The origin of the College dates back to 1922 when the Faculty of Arts was established to train clerks, administrators and teachers at the then Makerere College. Subjects offered at the Faculty included history, geography and all branches of English. English language was made compulsory for all students at the College who were not offering English as a major subject.

In 1944, higher courses in Arts were introduced at Makerere intended not only for teachers but also men entering administration or commerce. The introduction of the higher courses became the basis of later degree courses which was an important step in the evolution of Makerere College from a place of vocational training towards a university.
