Through research, service, and outreach, each academic discipline strives to improve the relationship between people and their environments. CHE was formed in July 2003, when it combined The School of Human Environmental Sciences and the former Carolyn Freeze Baynes School of Social Work and Criminal Justice Studies. The College is composed of four departments, one school and two institutes.
