Chatham University in Pittsburgh, founded in 1869, is a coeducational institution of about 2,800 students offering 61 academic programs. The campus is known for its green setting and an institutional focus on sustainability that informs many majors and campus practices. Small class sizes and accessible faculty mentoring create a supportive learning environment where applied projects and community engagement are central to the student experience.

Academically, Chatham emphasizes experiential learning through internships, research projects, and community partnerships that help students translate classroom learning into practical skills. Popular areas include sustainability studies, health sciences, business, and creative fields, with flexible graduate and undergraduate pathways that encourage interdisciplinary study. International students, while a smaller portion of the community, receive targeted orientation, advising, and career support to help build networks and find internships in the Pittsburgh region.

Campus life blends focused study with active student organizations, sustainability initiatives, and hands-on learning opportunities. Pittsburgh’s cultural scene, hospitals, and tech and nonprofit sectors expand internship and employment possibilities for students. Prospective international applicants should connect early with Chatham’s international student office to plan visas, housing, and funding options; highlight practical experience or sustainability projects in applications to align with the university’s strengths.
