History
The College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences traces its roots in the university back to the Home Economics Department, which was established in 1924. As the university expanded over the next few decades, the department also grew, eventually becoming the College of Home Economics in 1964. The college then continued to grow and began to incorporate more disciplines into its programs. In 1981, the college changed its name to the College of Human Resources in order to more accurately describe the areas of study offered through the college. Then, in 1996, it added “and Education” to its name as teaching became a focus of the college.In 2001, the College of Human Resources and Education became the College of Human Sciences and Education. The college decided to change “Resources” to “Sciences” in order to better reflect its programs and distinguish itself from the field of human resources. Then, in a university restructuring which split the College of Arts and Sciences in 2003, Senior Vice President and Provost Mark McNamee levied the current name of College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.
