About Us

Chapman teachers are well known for their competitive advantage in career placement and impressive record for changing the world around them.  Beyond the development of the requisite skills and knowledge, upon graduation we expect you to play an active part to improve schools, your community and, therefore, the lives of students.

The College of Educational Studies' hallmark is its small class size and emphasis on the interaction between students and faculty.  We use a healthy and productive one-on-one teaching style focusing on you as an individual and your distinct capabilities - part of our commitment to prepare educators to work with the children, youth and adults of varied cultural backgrounds, economic situations and ability levels in contemporary America.

Our faculty members unabashedly share their love of and respect for teaching.  With years of practical experience in schools across the nation, our professors also advance the quality and cause of education through their research in the field - an endeavor that takes them to the front rows of today's classroom.  They integrate their cutting edge programs into our curriculum providing you with the opportunity to understand current trends and help shape future educational policy.

At Chapman, you are able to commit yourself to graduating on time with a valuable personalized education and a competitive advantage in the job market.  Our classes are intimate and are offered at times that work with your schedule, and our faculty is on campus and always accessible to you.

We encourage you to talk to us or attend a one of our monthly information sessions to learn more about us and why Chapman is an exceptional education value.  Our information sessions cover everything you need to know, including program information, admission requirements, the advantages of a Chapman education, credentialing requirements and grant and financial aid options available to you.
