 General Education Program
Catalog Year 2007 and later
The General Education program reflects the University’s mission to provide its students with a personalized education of distinction that leads to inquiring, ethical, and productive lives as global citizens.
We therefore encourage students to shape their GE program in the most purposeful way for their educational journey, using it to develop new areas of knowledge and to make connections across courses and disciplines and between their GE and major.
The GE program goals are to help students:
- develop the means of critical inquiry in academic and civic matters
- gain breadth of knowledge in the liberal arts and depth of knowledge in areas unique to Chapman
- cultivate ethical awareness in learning and practice
- engage in experiential learning as thoughtful, principled citizens in a local and global sense
- become independent thinkers able to sustain a lifelong desire for intellectual growth
The General Education program has four parts. Follow the links to read about each part and to view the choices you have in designing your academic plan.
