Carmichael C. Peters, Ph.D., Director
The Chapman University Honors Program is a broad interdisciplinary course of study based on great books and events from cultures around the world. Students and faculty concentrate on mutually critical exchanges between the classics of human cultures and the contemporary world. The goal of these dialogical exchanges is collaborative and intentional learning in which students and faculty together connect enduring and emerging ideas, drawing on shared texts, lectures, seminar discussions, and cultural experiences.
Students in this university-wide program are required to complete a total of eight honors courses, including the Honors Capstone Seminar, for a minimum of 24 credits. Transfer students with 60 credits or more prior to matriculation take five courses, including the capstone seminar. In addition, incoming and transfer students must take the 1-credit Honors Forum their first year at Chapman. A minimum of 9 credits, other than the capstone or Honors Forum, must be at the 300 level or above.
The program satisfies the GE Inter/Multidisciplinary Cluster; select courses may also satisfy major, minor, other GE, and/or elective requirements.
Students must select at least one course from each topic area. Credit for one honors elective can be earned for a full semester course taken abroad. Students who satisfy the program requirements are recognized at graduation, with completion of the University Honors Program noted on their transcript and diploma.
To remain in the University Honors Program, students are expected to hold a 3.3000 GPA by the end of their sophomore year and maintain it through the end of their senior year. If a student's GPA drops below 3.3000, the student is on probation, with the expectation that the GPA will return to the required level by the end of the next semester. The student should also consult with the Honors director during this period.
Entrance into the program requires a separate application, which can be found at www.chapman.edu/honors.
Admission to the Program
A successful candidate for the University Honors Program will exhibit a strong motivation for interdisciplinary studies and an enthusiastic commitment to learning. Its purpose is less to recognize past academic accomplishments than to encourage continued intellectual development, nurture a lifelong love of learning, and prepare each student for a personally fulfilling and socially responsible life during their college years at Chapman and beyond.
Applicants typically have a first-rate GPA and highly competitive SAT and ACT scores. Other criteria may include outstanding leadership and/or creative achievement, community involvement and a range of interests and experiences. The program best serves students who approach their education in a mature and responsible manner. Once accepted, students are expected to be active participants in honors activities.
