Chapman University Top Questions

I love my classes at Chapman. Almost all my professors know my name. My professors are ALWAYS willing to help and create extra office hours for my individual needs. I have had professors that have hosted outside of the classroom events and other events that go above and beyond the expected outreach from a professor. Most students study every day. However, the students definitely create their own social lives outside the classroom. Being social and academics are both have important to the students at Chapman. My favorite class I have taken at Chapman was my human nutrition class. The professor strongly believed that her classroom was just as much ours as it was hers. She was very interactive with her students and connected on a personal level to each and every student. Her main goal was for us to truly understand how human nutrition works and to be able to apply our knowledge to change our life style. She definitely made an impact on my view of human health. I think the students at Chapman are very driven. They are competitive in a health manner, but not so competitive that you feel as though you are fighting against each other. There is a common understanding among the students that education is very important and that we all must help each other to improve each others learning.

Chapman University probably has one of the best programs in the nation.

Chapman University probably has one of the best programs in the nation. Not only are class size average from 15-25 students, but the majority of students get to know their professor and their peers. Furthermore, faculty are available for extra help and a lot of them serve as personal mentors to better align a student with what he/she wants to do in life. I am personally a Computer Information Systems and Business Administration Major, so I do get to see a wide variety of teachers and students I can confidently say that I love everything about Chapman University. Academic requirements get tougher every year, not only 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the faculty body have their Ph.Ds but since is such a small class, they have a target GPA as a class and it is sometimes difficult to meet because of the quality of students and the size of the class. However, what I like the most is the wide variety of classes taught about chapman. My favorite classes are the business classes, since the majority of teachers are real life entrepreneurs and you get to see how they have handled their business in the real world. Not only that, but a lot of them dedicate a lot of time to the students to provide them with internships or opportunities that will help them to succeed in the future.

All of my professors have known my name at Chapman except one, which I find truly remarkable. My favorite class would have to be Intro to Peace Studies, the class was taught by an amazing teacher, I think I learned the most in that class, and it was fun at the same time. The class was very discussion based, which was really nice. My least favorite class Was Biology, we just did a bunch of classifications and memorization and I struggled so much in that class. The lecture teacher was so boring but the lab teacher was still nice, just a difficult grader. The amount of studying students do is all dependent on what classes they are taking. I have had easy semesters with little studying and work, and then I have had semesters where I am study 24/7 get no sleep and feel like I'm dying. It all depends on how many classes you have (12 credits will be fairly easy, 18 credits, you may be studying a lot more). Class participation is almost mandatory in every class. Students do have intellectual conversations outside of class, the discussion does not end at the classroom. Students are somewhat competitive, but I feel like they are more supportive of each other than competitive. The most unique class I have taken is master-class voice, we performed songs and gave each other feedback, it helped with performance, and getting more comfortable in front of others. I am a Peace Studies major, with double majors in Environmental Science and Sociology. Peace Studies is like Political Science focusing on conflict resolution, I love all of the classes and the program is flexible, Environmental Studies minor is multidisciplinary and allows one to study environmental issues without the science, and Sociology is a great department with a wide assortment of classes. I believe that Chapman should continue on the path of letting less students in and being more selective, in the last couple years they have received more applications, which raises the bar higher to those who are accepted. I think the academic requirements to get in, and within the chosen major is really good. Our General Education courses often double count within majors, they also don't require as much compared to state schools, which is nice to be able to focus on your major. I do occasionally get together with professors outside of class for events on campus, or to discuss something. This education is geared towards getting a job, Chapman prepares you very well with internships and job opportunities.

IF you want a personalized education then that is what you are going to get here at Chapman! I have truly enjoyed all of the classes I have taken here so far. They have a wide variety of courses to take and allow you room to take random courses that don't relate to your major. I'm not a science fan but I had to take a science course to fulfill my GE. Chapman offers biology, chemistry, environmental science, forensics, food and nutrition, human anatomy, and a few more so you don't have to take a boring science class. I recently just declared a Communications major and I am a sophomore, but I am still expected to graduate in four years! I was able to take a large variety of classes while I was Undeclared such as Broadcast News, Sociology of Family and Marriage, Self Defense for Women, and Disney: Gender Race and Religion just to name a few. Chapman is very good about letting you explore your interests and take a wide variety of classes. The professors have been wonderful as well. A few of them I am actually on a first name basis with! They genuinely care about your well being and want you to succeed in their classes. They will work with you until you understand the course material. Yes, some have not gotten such high reviews, but I think every university has those not-so-great professors. It is not unusual to see professors getting coffee with their students discussing topics previously covered in class. Classes are challenging and you can't just skim by. However there is plenty of help and if you stay on top of your work you will totally fine. Student are always working together in the library to help each other understand the material and class participation is great. Professors want you to discuss your views and opinions of things.

My favorite class was called Intro to Creative Writing and I took it my sophomore year. I entered the room and saw 10 desks in a circle. That was all we needed, because the class only had 10 students. In this class, I truly felt that the teacher cared about my learning experience. Everyone participated, knew each other's names, and enjoyed coming to class each week. I received strong, varied feedback on all of my assignments, because the professor cared about our work and had time to give us her opinions. Something I like about Chapman is how most people are truly there to learn. It sounds nerdy, but I do love to learn and enjoy new experiences and facts. I love that I can continue a conversation with a classmate even after the class period ends, and how almost everyone is ready and willing to meet up for a study group on the weekend before a big test. And if we need help, we know our professors are only an e-mail away, and are happy to help us with any questions we have. I do dislike a few of Chapman's professors, however. While most are there to help their students, some seem like they do not care, and I wonder what they are doing there. Some simply lecture every day, but then post their powerpoint online, and students wonder why they wasted their time going to class. I have had a few professors with accents, and was forced to drop those classes simply because I know I cannot learn if I cannot understand what a person is lecturing about.
