Let us know you are interested! Send us an e-mail, fill out an inquiry form or attend a virtual information session (or campus event) to learn more about our school and academic programs. 

Requirements

Students interested in an online program will follow the same procedures as a first-time, first-year student or a transfer student, with some variation.  Submit the following:  

• Completed undergraduate application for admission
• Official academic transcripts from all past colleges and universities in which the student was enrolled
• Official high school transcripts 
• Essay or writing sample
• One letter of recommendation from a professor, community member, employer, etc. 
• Transfer students with more than 24 transferrable credits do not need to provide their official high school transcript or test scores.

General Education Requirements 

Chatham University requires undergraduate students to complete a minimum of 40 credits of general education as specified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Students transferring to the University who have completed 40 credits of general education at an accredited institution of higher learning will be considered to have completed their general education requirements. 

Submission of Credits

All potential transfer credit in progress or completed prior to acceptance to Chatham must be submitted to the University before the student begins courses. This requirement includes all Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses. All official transcripts will be evaluated on an individual basis.

Articulation Agreements 

If you are transferring credits, we have Articulation Agreements with a number of schools to make the process easier and your hard work count. 

Undergraduate online admissions at Chatham University has a rolling application deadline; we will accept your application to study with us at any time of the year for multiple starts each term! However, there are important deadlines for class registration. 

Class Registration 

Online courses begin at Chatham six starts per year (two in fall, two in spring, and two in summer).  Students must be deposited to register for classes.  Registration occurs on a first-come first-serve basis; the earlier you are able to deposit, the sooner you will be able to register and begin your classes for the upcoming term.  

This application is for undergraduate students applying to Chatham's Bachelor-level undergraduate online programs and integrated degree programs. The links to your right will redirect you to The Common Application or the Chatham Application. 

The Common Application will allow you to apply to multiple schools at once while the Chatham Application is specific to our school and our requirements for admission.
