And, of course, dream.

The academic experience at Chapman challenges the status quo—yours. Think you understand the American political system? Spend a semester in Washington, D.C. Think you have a pretty good grasp of the English language? Submit a short story to one of our literary journals. Think you like movies? Try making one, as a freshman.

Experiences such as these allow you to seize your education with both hands under the guidance of professors who want to see you catch fire with enthusiasm.
