We_They was established in the academic year 2004/2005 by merging two colleges:  the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Sciences. This also resulted in the merging of some departments within the College.  At the time, the new College comprised 9 departments and one program for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. In the academic year 2006/2007 the International Affairs Program was launched, followed by the Environmental Sciences Program in 2007/2008. In 2009/2010 the Social Work program was reactivated after being frozen for a few years.
