Chatham University
Office of International Affairs
Chatham University is committed to propelling students to global citizenship. The university provides a wide range of opportunities for students and faculty to be internationally engaged. Students are expected to obtain a passport in their first year and participate in multiple international academic experiences throughout their education at Chatham whether on campus or out in the world. Chatham students have the option to study abroad through a wide range of programs that meet any students’ financial, learning, and personal needs and interests. The curriculum across the academic disciplines provides perspectives of cultures around the world and a focus on awareness of global issues. Chatham offers international studies certificates in five regions of the world and Global Focus, an integrated year of on-campus studies, events, and activities on a particular region or country that changes each academic year. The University is developing connections with universities and other entities across the world. Chatham faculty have the opportunity to teach abroad, serve as a Fulbright Scholar, interact with Fulbright Scholars on the Chatham campus, and develop international connections, initiatives, and programs for students.
Chatham University welcomes students and faculty from around the world to our beautiful campus in the heart of Pittsburgh. Our campus is home to over 100 international students as well as visiting international scholars. The University expects to significantly diversify and increase its international student population in the near future. International students have the option to study English language, be admitted conditionally and study English language while beginning to take undergraduate or graduate courses, and to fully be admitted to an undergraduate or graduate program.
As the center of Chatham University’s international engagement and activities, International Affairs provides learning opportunities and services that foster cross-cultural awareness, facilitate intercultural communication, and enhance knowledge of world cultures and societies. International Affairs collaborates with Chatham faculty and staff as well as community leaders on international and intercultural initiatives. The mission of International Affairs is to integrate rigorous academic experiences focused on global topics into the curriculum and co-curricular activities on campus, provide support services to the campus regarding international engagement, and develop a global footprint for the University.
