What if I don’t know what I want to major in?
We have many students come in undecided each year. Your freshman year will consist mainly of introductory courses that help you get to know professors and find an area you might be interested in. Our Career Development office is also available to help you decide. We do recommend deciding on a major by the beginning of sophomore year so that you are able to complete required courses and finish your degree in four years.

Should I take the SAT or the ACT? Or both?
We accept both the SAT and ACT and have no preference over either one. If you take both, or take them more than once, we will use the highest score submitted.
How important are extracurricular activities and community service on the application?
At CHC, we are looking for students who contribute to our community both academically and socially. Many of our current students are involved in several extracurricular activities and community service, so we believe the students with prior experience will make a smoother transition into their college life. These activities are not required, but will help us discover who you are as a student.

What is the difference between a private and public institution?
The primary difference between a private and public college or university is the funding that the institution receives. For CHC, being a private college means that we are able to keep our class sizes very small and our student body very involved. We are able to focus on each and every student individually, ranging from the day the application is submitted to the day they receive their diploma. We are also able to offer students very competitive merit awards and financial aid packages due to our private status.
Am I able to meet with a professor when visiting campus?
Yes, if you would like to meet with a professor during your visit, please let us know beforehand so we can see whether or not they will be available.
We have no deadlines and begin accepting students as early as October of their senior year. Our rolling application policy means that students can apply at any time.
I took a college course while in high school, will CHC accept those credits?
Yes, CHC will accept any college course credits that were taken during high school as long as the course is level 101 or above and a grade of C or better was earned. All transcripts must be submitted to the registrar in order for credit to be received.
When is the deadline to have my application completed?
We have rolling admissions at CHC meaning you can apply at any time. We do suggest applying in the fall of your senior year so that you have time to focus on financial aid in the spring.
How long will it take for me to receive my admissions decision?
Typically, you will receive a decision at a minimum two weeks of submitting your complete application.
