Program Description

Best of Both Worlds

Pittsburgh – a big city with small-town safety, charm, and hospitality – is frequently voted one of the most livable cities in the United States. Diverse and cosmopolitan, the Pittsburgh metropolitan area has about 2.5 million residents, including over 7,000 international students studying at its universities.

Like to attend major sporting events?
Visit a world-class zoo or amusement park? Chatham University is in a great location, offering students the comforts of a peaceful campus with access to a vibrant city and activities within minutes.

In Pittsburgh, you’ll find a wide range of cultural offerings, such as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, art museums (including the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Andy Warhol Museum), and many shopping opportunities. The beautiful 640-acre Frick Park is a 15-minute walk from campus and has many trails for hiking and mountain biking. You can explore exciting caves, take hikes in pristine landscapes, and go camping and white water rafting in one of the many nearby state parks. Chatham is a short ride from the Pittsburgh International Airport, which has easy connections to other major U.S. cities and international destinations. All Chatham students receive bus passes that permit easy access to the amenities of the city. You can also rent a bicycle from Chatham’s bike shop.

Many of Chatham’s campus buildings (including residence halls) are historic mansions in the upscale Pittsburgh neighborhoods of Shadyside and Squirrel Hill. These small, friendly neighborhoods are located just minutes from the arts and commerce of Pittsburgh.

How to Apply

You must be a current DWCLA student. To apply, you must meet the academic requirements of DWCLA and be nominated. You must have a TOEFL score of 500/60 or 5.5 on IELTS. If your scores fall under those limits, you may be not be eligible to take only academic classes in fall. You will be required to take both academic courses and English language courses. If you have a different English language proficiency exam, please contact us: we accept other exams as well!

Interested students should submit the following:

• Completed Application
• Official transcripts from all universities attended
• Bank verification letter showing sufficient funds for the semester or year.
• Standardized language exam results

Classes

At this time, it is expected that we will hold Summer 2021 classes in-person, or with in-person and virtual components. A decision on the summer 2021 operations and class schedule will be released in early 2021.

Semester Application Deadline

April 1st

Interested students should apply as early as possible to have enough time to get a student visa. Admission to this program does not imply admission to Chatham University. If you participate in the Chatham Semester and then want to become a degree-seeking student at Chatham, you must apply following normal application procedures.

Housing

Students will have the option to live on campus, with other Chatham University students, or to apply for a host family. Students who wish to have a host family, should select this option on the online Housing Questionnaire form. Students who live on campus might live in one of our renovated historical mansions, or in residence halls that look like apartments.

Arrival
Students should plan to arrive in the United States on May 28, 2021. Classes will begin on Tuesday June 1, 2021.

There will be a brief break in studies between Summer and Fall term. Fall classes will begin on Monday August 23.
