Get to know our College

The Norman J. Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences (RCHSS) is the largest of the 11 colleges that comprise KSU. We believe positions our college to be the role model and standard bearer for exemplary programs, award-wining faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and ample resources to ensure our students’ success. Our ability to live up to that ideal is achieved in part because of the generosity of our namesake donor, Norman J. Radow, and the many other donors who help fund scholarships, programs, and the physical resources necessary to develop and implement our cutting-edge, forward-thinking curricula that is the foundation of our undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
