Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1837, is the oldest historically Black college or university (HBCU) in the United States, located in Cheyney, Chester County, in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. As a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), Cheyney has a proud legacy of educating African American students for professional careers and community leadership. The university's STEM offerings are centered within the Department of Natural and Applied Sciences, which provides foundational coursework in biology, chemistry, and environmental science to prepare students for careers in healthcare, research, and natural resource management. Cheyney's small class sizes and dedicated faculty provide an intimate, supportive environment for students pursuing STEM pathways, including pre-medicine and health professions concentrations. The university is actively expanding its STEM capacity as part of its revitalization efforts and its historic mission to broaden access to higher education for underrepresented populations.
