Addis College was established in 1992 following the reorganization given by the ministry of education. The initial educational scheme, launched in 1992, aimed to offer a three-year diploma program in different technical courses. Over the years since its establishment, Addis College experienced developmental changes that resulted in the expansion and inclusion of some programs & units.  The Departments of Construction Technology & Management, Civil Engineering, Architectural & Urban Planning, Automotive Technology & Vehicle Management and Accounting and Finance are the departments in the undergraduate program. With the rapid expansion of the College, it continued to maintain prominence within the country. 

In 2018, a wide effort was started to introduce a unified master program; with it establishing nationally recognized curricula in the field of Construction technology & management. From that date on, the school of graduate studies played a very important role as a strategy in introducing new academic program. The effort continues and in 2020, the graduate program includes Project Management and MBA and started providing education.
