History
The College of Health and Human Sciences can trace its roots to the early years of Kansas State University when President John Anderson established the "woman’s" course in 1873. The program turned into the Household Economics Course in 1897 and then Domestic Science in 1898 when the program also occupied the newly built Kedzie Hall.
In 1908 the program moved to the newly built, and larger, Calvin Hall, and in 1909 it was reorganized as the Division of Home Economics. Expansion in the programs offered through the division led to the building of Thompson Hall in 1922 and then the Campus Creek Complex in the late 1940s. In 1942 the division was renamed the School of Home Economics and at the 1963 reorganization was renamed the College of Home Economics. In 1960 the College occupied newly built Justin Hall.
The College of Home Economics became the College of Human Ecology in 1986. In 2019, it was renamed as the College of Health and Human Sciences.
