Academic Rigor Chatham provides a rigorous, challenging curriculum across all majors, designed to give students the tools they need to succeed in the world beyond college. Course load and homework can depend on the specific classes you take, the expectations of your professors, and the overall number of credits in which you have enrolled. In general, for every hour you spend in class, expect at least two hours of work per week outside of class for reading and homework.
Academic Advising Students at Chatham work closely with a faculty member who serves as their academic advisor. Advisors help students select appropriate courses, identify educational and professional goals, and adjust to college-level academics. Together, students and advisors discuss and explore a student’s interests, strengths, challenges, and aspirations to advance each student’s educational and career goals. At Chatham University, advisors and advisees work together throughout the term to develop the optimal program of study for each student.
