As a Cheyney student, your child won’t be just another number. Our low student-to-faculty ratio ensures that no one gets lost in the crowd. We are a close-knit community of people dedicated to the success and wellbeing of each and every one of our students.
We understand that an informed and supportive family plays a key role in each student’s college success. That’s why the parents and families of our students are such a valued part of our community. Whether you’re thinking about sending your child to Cheyney or you’re the parent of an incoming freshman or current student, here are resources for you to learn more about who we are and how to help your child experience the full extent of Cheyney life.
