Gateway Adult Students

"As a Gateway student, at Chatham I am able to apply 'real world' experiences to my learning objectives in a community of women focused on holistic development. At Chatham traditional and non-traditional students come together, learn from each other and so I am able to gain a broader perspective on educational challenges facing women of all ages" - Chivone Chapman

Are you a woman 23 years of age or older...

• whose education was delayed or postponed
• who wants to reenter the workforce, or
• who wishes to advance her current career?

Then the Chatham University Gateway Program is for you!

There are several unique advantages to the Gateway Program:

• Through experiential learning, Gateway students have the opportunity to gain academic credit for knowledge gained through employment, job training, volunteer and civic activities, military service and travel.
• A transfer student admitted from an accredited institution may expect to receive credit for courses in which she has earned a minimum grade of C-.
  Chatham currently awards credit for satisfactory performance on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests.
• Gateway students attending classes on a full-time basis can receive up to $ 12 ,000 in merit awards from Chatham University. If transferring from a two-year college and a member of Phi Theta Kappa, an additional $2,000 may be awarded.
• New Gateway students enrolling full-time at Chatham for the first time are eligible to receive a 25% tuition reduction (not applicable for other fees or expenses).
• PACE Center features individual academic advising, career development and learning center.

Also, Chatham offers Gateway women the Gateway Student Association. The Gateway Student Association (GSA) is an official campus organization that represents all Gateway women. Students meet to discuss common needs of the adult student population. Through this organization, our Gateway women meet other adult women on campus; have lunches, dinners, participate in campus events together and share their common experiences.
