WILL YOU FIND YOUR
CALLING HERE?

At Chestnut Hill College, every student has a unique identity and we offer a personalized education that reflects this truth. This is why our professors are willing to spend that extra time out of class to help you better understand an assignment and sometimes even give you their cell phone number. A Chestnut Hill education is founded on the fact that people deserve an individualized, holistic education and we can assure you that your education will be just that: yours.

WILL YOU RISE TO THE OCCASION?

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.

75 ACRES OF AWESOME.

Truth be told, the best way to get a sense of real life at Chestnut Hill College is to hear about it from the students themselves - the ones who know which chem lab to take, where to grab a great meal during parents' weekend, or how to get involved in community service projects. Thankfully, you can find all these answers and a whole lot more on 75 Acres of Awesome, the student-run blog about life on and off campus at Chestnut Hill College.

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.

WELCOME TO A
75-ACRE TEXTBOOK.

Strolling through Chestnut Hill College campus, you can't help but feel that this is what college should be. From the stone facádes and classic architecture, to the wide hallways echoing with scholarly discussion, you'll be hard pressed to find another college campus that's equally, well, collegiate. Though we'll admit that on a Spring afternoon when every patch of grass is covered by a lounging student or a flying Frisbee, you might take a brief hiatus from the books.

Chestnut Hill College has created an environment that both teaches and fosters this kind of versatile individuality, and our student body reflects this fact.
