As a Cheyney student, you will be a name, not a number. Our 12:1 faculty-to-student ratio ensures that you’ll never get lost in the crowd. We are a close-knit community of students, faculty and staff providing personalized attention to foster your success and growth. We emphasize student engagement and encourage our students to find and use their voices.

To help you find your footing and make your mark, we’ve established a new wellness program, incorporating new staff members who serve as “life coaches” to our students. These Life Coaches help guide our students in navigating their matriculation process, and in life in general. Your success and wellbeing are their primary objectives, and our life coaches are relentless champions for your potential.

Cheyney University’s campus, located in the quiet suburb of Thornbury Township, 30 miles west of the City of Philadelphia. The campus features a stunning Quadrangle (“the Quad”) that is both historic and beautiful. Here is also where graduation ceremonies have taken place for decades — which is something you can look forward to when you first set foot on campus.
