The then Dilla college constituted two faculties: Faculty of teacher Education and Faculty of Health Sciences. However, in 2001, the College was included in the then newly emerging university- Debub university. In 2004 Dilla College once again went through another phase and sprung in to a full-fleged university by the councils of ministers regulation No 129/04. When Dilla University begun its activity as a college it had 12 departments with a total student population of less than 400, in a campus that was originally constructed for another purpose.
