Founded in 1861, Chapman University is one of the oldest, most prestigious
private universities in California. Originally called Hesperian College,
the school later merged with California Christian College in Los Angeles.
In 1934, the institution was renamed in honor of C.C. Chapman, an
Orange County entrepreneur and benefactor of the school. The college
moved to its current location in downtown Orange, Calif. in 1954.
In 1991, the college again changed its name to Chapman University,
reflecting its evolution into a comprehensive institution of higher
learning.
Chapman is just the right size; large enough to offer diverse programs
for traditional students and adult learners, but small enough to remember
what's important - your future. And your dreams. Here's what
Chapman is about: Dream the biggest dream of your life. Then
let us help you achieve it.
Chapman is a comprehensive university built around a liberal arts
core offering traditional undergraduate, graduate and professional
