Welcome to CHESS

Fall 2026 marks the inaugural semester of the College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences (CHESS)—bringing together programs dedicated to understanding people, strengthening communities, and preparing tomorrow's leaders.

Students gain the practical knowledge, hands-on experience, and transferable skills needed to succeed in today's workforce. Through research, creative activity, internships, field experiences, and community engagement, you'll develop the critical thinking, communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills that employers value and careers demand.

Your education is more than earning a degree—it's building the knowledge, experience, and confidence to make a meaningful impact in your career and your community.
