Our Mission
Attallah College develops equity-minded PreK-12, higher education, community professionals and leaders who change the world through ethical and reflective scholarship and practice.
The Attallah College faculty, supported by four professional accreditations, strives to make a more just world through their teaching, scholarship, and collaboration with local communities. The Attallah College offers teaching credentials and graduate programs, school-based mental health programs, and a Ph.D. in Education. The college has multiple unique degree offerings, including school psychology, school counseling, music education, special education, and leadership.
The School of Education at Chapman University became the College of Educational Studies in August 2008 as it launched its own bachelor's degree programs. The Ph.D. in Education program began in 2007 and, in 2017, the college was named in honor of alumna Donna Ford Attallah '61, who spent more than forty years as a primary grades classroom teacher.
With more than 12,000 alumni and counting, the most common paths taken after graduation include teaching, school counseling and psychology, nonprofit leadership, and higher education administration and research.
Our faculty and staff have always been key to Attallah College's success and Chapman's commitment to academic excellence. We are proud to share our college's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan goals and some of the many remarkable strengths and accomplishments that define our vibrant educational community.
