IS THIS WHERE YOU'LL
FIND YOURSELF?

Chestnut Hill College is not every other college and truth be told, we're pretty happy about that. Because we'd rather be a school where students receive personal attention from faculty. Where small classes lead to big breakthroughs. Where your learning happens just as much in the classroom as out. At Chestnut Hill College, we don't just build rÃ©sumÃ©s, we build a lasting community.

HISTORIC ROOTS.
MODERN REACH.

Founded on the philosophy of the Sisters of Saint Joseph more than 80 years ago, Chestnut Hill College still holds true to its founding principles. At the core of this philosophy lies the Sisters' commitment to work and live amongst the people they are called to serve. This commitment to helping others ensures that graduates are prepared to improve not only their careers, but their communities as well.

YOU MIGHT BE SITTING DOWN WHEN YOU DISCOVER WHAT YOU STAND FOR.

At Chestnut Hill College, we believe that a curriculum should go beyond the classroom because education occurs on many levels. And while our coursework is always evolving to stay one step ahead of our ever-changing world, it's based on a tradition of values. This holistic approach inspires a passion for learning, builds a collaborative learning community, and creates well-rounded individuals, prepared to excel in all aspects of their lives.

WELCOME TO
A 75-ACRE TEXTBOOK.

Strolling through Chestnut Hill College's campus, you can't help but feel the history. French Gothic and Italian Romanesque architecture transports you to another time, and hallways seem to echo with past scholarly discussion. You'll cross tree-lined groves perfect for outdoor studying and wide-open fields full of coeds shouldering backpacks or chucking Frisbees. Once you step foot on campus you'll quickly discover that you'll be hard pressed to find another college campus that's equally, well, collegiate.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

We're a city school. We're a suburban school. Truth be told, we're a little bit of both. At Chestnut Hill College, you can enjoy the benefits of a geographic identity crisis: a quaint, safe, charming campus on the outskirts of one of America's largest cities and cultural epicenters. From the hiking trails of Fairmount Park to the cafes of the Chestnut Hill neighborhood to the museums of Philadelphia, you'll be well occupied.

HOW WILL YOU GET INVOLVED?

At Chestnut Hill College, it's no exaggeration when we say that campus life extends well beyond the classroom. With a wealth of clubs, organizations and sports, students find an outlet for every interest while still managing to put in some solid time exploring Philadelphia's music scene, or discussing Arrested Development over a double cheese pizza at Cosimo's.
