Student-Faculty Collaboration

Opening doors.

Chapman University faculty open doors both literally and figuratively.

Professors at Chapman literally keep their office doors open, welcoming students interested in sharing ideas, working through an academic problem or pondering the meaning of life.

Your teachers will also work to open the doors of your mind, exposing you to new ways of thinking, creative approaches to solving problems, different cultures, new esthetics and unfamiliar philosophies. The Chapman experience is a transformative one. As one Chapman faculty member puts it: “We want students to catch fire.”

The “open door/open mind” culture runs deeply here. At Chapman you will have the chance to complete independent research or creative projects with a faculty mentor, or you might help a professor with his or her own studies. These experiences will prove invaluable to both your intellectual development and your future career.
