School Notes:

  • Chatham’s 39-acre Shadyside Campus is located minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, and our new 388-acre Eden Hall Farm Campus is located north of the city and offers a unique learning environment for all students. Technological updates, including wireless access around campus, MacBook Pros provided to all first-year students, and a $10 million science complex, keep students connected both in and out of the classroom. Chatham hosts eight NCAA Division III athletic teams in our spacious Athletic and Fitness Center. Our new wellness program encompasses your emotional, environmental, physical, social, spiritual and mental well-being, and helps to prepare you to live healthy throughout your life. Admission to Chatham University is determined by the candidate’s academic record, her promise as a student at Chatham, and commitment to continued personal growth. Chatham gives preference to students that come from a strong college preparatory background. Chatham encourages a minimum of four years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of science, and three years of social science. The meeting of minimum requirements itself does not ensure admission to Chathan. Acceptance is contingent upon a candidate’s completion of secondary school requirements and is based on careful review of all credentials presented by the candidate.
