Earlier (since establishment) it was known as Department of Physical Education and Sport (from 2006/2000 E.C -2009/2002 E.C) under Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics.

 Later in 2009/2002 E.C it has been known as Department of Sport Science. The government under the supervision of Ministry of Education (MOE) in 2009/2002 E.C gave the name for the seek of educational coverage and expansion of science as applied science and they also changed the name of the Faculty as College of Natural Science and Mathematics. Hence then, Sport Science and Biology jointly are under Faculty of Life Sciences having separate department heads since 2013/2005 E.C.      

Since then, it has provided significant contributions to the University, Community, and the nation through providing research and community services, giving its prominence emphasis to the teaching and learning process and has been training over 800 students since 2021.
