The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) is Montclair State's largest college with over 5,000 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students. CHSS facilitates traditional and interdisciplinary learning, and is the professional home of many outstanding scholars and instructors across numerous disciplines, all of whom lend to CHSS's mission to furnish academically rigorous and relevant programs of study that contribute to the development of an informed and engaged civil society. CHSS's programs develop in students the abilities to discover, create, evaluate, apply, and share knowledge, so that they will be able to think critically, act ethically, and be informed citizen-participants prepared to assume leadership roles in their communities. CHSS also aims to be responsive to the needs of society, including via its championing of use-inspired research collaboratively undertaken by faculty and students, and graduate programs that train students to apply knowledge in constructive, inspiring, and practical ways that benefit our local and broader communities.
