Located in Pittsburgh’s vibrant Shadyside neighborhood, Chatham University is best known for its deep-rooted legacy of environmental sustainability—inspired by alumna Rachel Carson—and its highly regarded programs in the health sciences, sustainability, and creative writing. The student experience is defined by a close-knit, collaborative culture set on a historic woodland arboretum campus that offers both a peaceful sanctuary and easy access to the city’s robust internship and professional networks.
