Welcome to the College of Humanities & Social Sciences (CHSS)--Rowan University’s second largest college.

We offer a model of lifelong learning that emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving. In CHSS, we create connections in teaching, research and service to advance society. We inspire our faculty, students, alumni and the university community as a whole to create a world in which everyone can contribute, improve society and prosper. CHSS is home to the majority of Rowan Core courses—we come in contact with almost every student who graduates with a Rowan degree. In addition, we offer small classes, taught by excellent teachers and active researchers who are committed to your success.
