Our academic philosophy requires students to explore across subject areas—something that’s supported inside and outside the classroom. Our average class size is 23; most classes range from 10-29 students. There are around 190 academic, professional and special-interest clubs. We offer 21 intercollegiate athletic teams (NCAA Division III) and 8 club teams. Students can choose from over 90 semester and academic-year study abroad programs. (More than 40% of Chapman students study abroad.) Our university is a vibrant community located in the heart of Orange County. From campus you can walk to downtown Orange, or drive to nearby attractions, including beaches, mountains, sporting venues or Disneyland.

What is the average test scores and GPA of admitted students for Chapman University?
Chapman University
Hi Nathan! Since Chapman is completing its second year as a test optional institution, that is not something we are actively tracking, especially since more than 70% of applicants are not submitting test scores when they apply. As for the GPA requirement, that is a 3.84 weighted GPA.

How does the one-time tuition waiver work for study abroad?
Chapman University
Hi Adrian! I am not too knowledgeable about the specifics of certain resources for our study abroad programs. I would recommend reaching out to our Center for Global Education here: https://www.chapman.edu/international-studies/center-for-global-education/index.aspx

Do many students attend Chapman sporting events?
Chapman University
Hi Lauren! We have quite a community that participates and supports our student athletes. Because there are so many events (athletic and non-athletic) for students to spectate or get involved in, there are certain matches/games/tournaments that may have a lower attendance than others. However, there is a student presence in the stands!

What are your strongest majors and what programs do you offer to support them?
Chapman University
Hi Kali! Our most popular applied-to programs are Psychology, Business Administration, Health Sciences and Film Production. Each individual program has their own specific resources to aid students in and outside of the classroom, so it would be difficult to list them all in 550 words. Feel free to look through our website regarding those resources: www.chapman.edu

Is greek life a big part of student life at Chapman?
Chapman University
Hi Adrian! Greek life consists of nearly a third of our student body but that is not a result of it being the main source of social interaction for our students. We offer close to 200 clubs and organizations that focus on professional development, community initiatives and leisure. Those that are involved in Greek life are also well involved in other facets of campus. If it is something you would like to join, you are able to do so but it doesn't make up your entire Chapman experience.
