Chapman University is a truly unique place: a world class institution based on the values of personalized education in a small class setting. Argyros School faculty hold doctorates from renowned institutions, and their research is published in the most selective academic journals. And that’s just the beginning. Faculty combine their experience as consultants and expert witnesses with their industry knowledge to infuse the curriculum with real-life examples of business problems and solutions.

Chapman’s national reputation gives you a competitive advantage in the marketplace as well. U.S. News and World Report ranks Chapman as a top tier western region master’s university; Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges lists Chapman as “very competitive”; Peterson’s Competitive Colleges says Chapman “routinely attracts and admits an above-average share of the nation’s highest achieving students”; the Templeton Guide: Colleges that Encourage Character Development recognizes Chapman as one of only 100 schools nationwide to encourage this type of student growth, and Yahoo named Chapman as a top “wired” campus. Of the more than 2,000 global business schools, the Argyros School is one of only 555 to hold AACSB accreditation.
