Discovery Days

Attending a weekend event, like Saturday Visit Day or an Open House, is a great way to explore Chatham University. Current students will guide you through Shadyside Campus, you'll connect with staff from the Academic Success Center and Student Life, and meet your admission counselor. You'll also receive information about scholarships, financial aid, internships, graduate programs, career outcomes, and more. If you can't visit us in person, our virtual sessions are a great way to learn more and have your questions answered.
