Our Legacy And Vision

• Our Legacy and Vision
• Our Mission

Adult learners --working professionals returning to college for an undergraduate or graduate degree--represent a growing segment of America's college student population. The days when a mid-term exam was the biggest challenge you faced are long gone. You're juggling a multitude of responsibilities. You have a career. You have a family. You have a life!

You also have ambition. You know that to be successful in your career you cannot remain static. You must continue to grow and learn. And, you realize the value a quality education plays in your continued growth and success. You're looking for an education that will help you achieve your goals. That's exactly what we offer at Chapman University College, a program designed to serve the unique needs of working adult students by providing a traditional, quality education in non-traditional, innovative ways.

University College serves the higher educational needs of working adults and other students who require alternatives to traditional campus-based programs by creating and delivering innovative academic programming that meets the needs of this growing population. University College strives to develop within adult learners the ability to think clearly, communicate effectively, appreciate divergent points of view, value human and cultural diversity, and make informed ethical judgments in an increasingly complex, interdependent world.

Research shows that today's working adult will change careers three times. Typically, two of these career changes will require additional training, a professional or graduate degree. The educational opportunities offered by University College help working professionals prepare for these transitions.
