Chatham keeps students ahead with academics, leadership skills

Founded in 1869, Chatham University is a coed university with a women’s college at its historic heart.

Chatham provides students with a solid education built upon strong academics, public leadership and global understanding.

Its Shadyside Campus is on historic Woodland Road in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside neighborhood, while its Eden Hall Campus is 45 minutes north in Richland Township.

The university houses three distinctive colleges.

Chatham College for Women provides academic and cocurricular programs for undergraduate women. The College for Graduate Studies offers women and men both master’s and doctoral programs. The College for Continuing and Professional Studies provides online and hybrid undergraduate and graduate degree programs for women and men, certificate programs and community programming.

Technological updates, such as wireless access around campus, 13-inch MacBook Pro computers provided to all first-year and transfer students and a $10 million science complex, keep students connected both in and out of the classroom.

Chatham’s Accelerated Graduate program enables students to earn both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Chatham or from the prestigious Heinz School of Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon in as few as five years.

The Global Focus program brings a region of the world — its politics, geography, cultures, and perceptions — into closer view for the entire campus community through course work, service learning projects, lectures, movies and discussions.

To arrange a personal tour and interview or to RSVP for one of the university’s events, please contact the admissions office at 800-837-1290 or admission@chatham.edu.
