There is also Chatham’s Integrated Degree Programs (IDP), which allows well-qualified students to have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree along with a related master’s degree in as little as five years. By working toward a master’s degree during the last year of undergraduate work, the degree offers significant savings over traditional mas-
ter’s completion. In addition to graduate programs at Chatham, the university has partnered with Carnegie Mellon and other universities to offer additional pro- grams for their IDP students. Students will receive their bachelor’s degree from Chatham and their mas- ter’s degree from one of their partner institutions.

The University was honored with an Internation- al Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN) Excellence Award for their exceptional integration of sustainabili- ty efforts with academics.
