作为我们文科重点的一部分, we embrace innovation and a student-centered approach, 产生了一个灵活的, interdisciplinary program that integrates new technology and practical experience with history, 理论, 和探索.

All students complete a capstone seminar that channels the knowledge they’ve accumulated into a discipline-specific project under close faculty guidance. Chatham is one of the few universities across the country that offers such an independent and student-driven program.
Chatham is walking distance to many of Pittsburgh’s best loved arts institutions and organizations, 包括卡内基艺术博物馆匹兹堡电影制片人，卡内基音乐厅, 弗里克艺术和历史中心.
通过与卡耐基梅隆大学, you may qualify to obtain a bachelor’s degree in visual arts and a master’s degree in arts management with only one additional year of study.
