Distance Learning Programs
Extended Education Programs
In 1958 Chapman began extending academic degree programs to off-campus
learning centers, currently termed branch campuses. The first program
began at El Toro Marine Air Station; other branches of the military
soon requested Chapman to offer degree programs for all military
personnel. The majority of the branch campuses are community based,
but the university does maintain a presence on many bases for all
branches of the armed forces. A wide range of graduate and undergraduate
degree programs are offered at more than 20 locations throughout
California, Washington, and Arizona. The off-campus degree programs
extend the educational objectives and historic purpose of Chapman
University by recognizing and enhancing academic opportunities for
a wide range of non-traditional adult students. The university’s
reputation for excellence is consistent in every community it serves.
Students at the branch campuses are seeking a bachelor’s or
master’s degree in an accelerated timeline; are returning to
obtain a graduate degree for career enhancement; or are adult learners
with specific timelines and educational goals. Courses are designed
for terms that typically meet for nine or ten weeks on a year-round
basis. Classes are offered in the late afternoons or evenings, or,
on occasion, during the weekend.
Each campus maintains a full-time professional staff that provides
personal attention throughout the student’s degree program.
In 1993, the university began hiring full-time faculty at the Academic
Centers (branch campuses). There are over 50 faculty who are in
residence at off-campus sites and provide direct services to adult
learners. This personal attention is the hallmark of Chapman University’s
academic programs. Regular and adjunct faculty provide quality instruction
in all majors and programs. The Orange campus generally coordinates
services in the admission, registration, financial aid, business
and learning resources for each site. As each branch campus is an
integral part of the university, academic standards are consistent
with the Orange campus.
The College is comprised of the Department of Professional Studies,
the Department of Distance Learning, and the Department of Extended
Education.

practitioners committed to making a positive difference in their

and that the attainment of these goals can only be achieved in a
supportive student-centered climate which is truly conducive to
learning.
Master of Arts in Career Counseling

Criminal Justice
Bachelor of Arts
Who commits
crime? Why does crime exist? What institutions deal with crime,
and what methods can they use? These questions and many more will
be covered in the study of criminal justice. The criminal justice
major focuses on theory, administration, methods, research, and
pragmatic analysis of various social, legal and penal systems, institutions
and issues. It offers both theoretical and applied knowledge. Students
in criminal justice may go on to graduate study in criminal justice
or law school, or may enter the job market in a range of fields,
including law enforcement, court and paralegal occupations, corrections,
and security. The degree also facilitates promotions to mid-level
management positions in criminal justice organizations.
Students pursuing the criminal justice degree must receive at least
a C- in each of the core courses. Criminal Justice majors cannot
take a pass/no pass grade in any core major course.
