History

Sansertha College is one of the older colleges of IA. In 1577 Ulinai Sansertha, a noted scholar and official in the royal court, began a private initiative to expand the University of Isana; his goal was to found a new college for research in the social sciences and public administration. After 5 years of such efforts the plan was put forth to the royal court, and Enastre II officially granted the royal decree for the college two years later in 1584.

While Sansertha was founded with a specific range of courses in mind, the founding of the University of Isana School for Political and Social Sciences in 1926 has superseded it as a specialist college; long before that, in the mid 19th century DN, Sansertha had already begun expanding into other courses. Now it is considered one of the "comprehensive" colleges, though the number of social science students still take up around 70% of the school population.
