College of Health and Human Services
Dean's Welcome
While we’ve recently changed names, becoming the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) at Salem State University, we continue to offer the service-oriented programs for which we’ve become known. They include the Schools of Education, Nursing, and Social Work, and the Departments of Criminal Justice and Occupational Therapy. Each program offers its own unique blend of academics and field work that ensures our graduates are well-prepared for the work force or for continuing their education following graduation. I encourage you to visit the program that inspires you.
CHHS also hosts the university's Preschool Program, a unique benefit for Salem State students with children. A state-certified and nationally-accredited program, it presents our student-parents, a low-cost preschool option, regardless of major. The Preschool, however, is not just limited to our students. University faculty and staff, as well as members of the community, are all welcome to apply.
Sincerely,
Neal DeChillo, PhD
