»Internship and Mentorship

I entered Chapman as an undeclared major, but within my first week in the Graphic Design program, everything changed. The faculty’s passion and one-on-one support were immediately clear. The courses are hands-on and treated like real client work, making professional practices feel natural and personal.

I chose Chapman’s Graphic Design program because it lets you start major courses in your first year, and the small class sizes create a supportive, personal learning environment. The professors are amazing, and you get to explore all areas of design—my favorite class being UI, UX and Interaction Design. I’ve had two oncampus design jobs and found so many hands-on opportunities to grow my skills. With 24/7 access to the labs and a variety of equipment to meet your creative needs, and close connections with peers and faculty, the program has helped me build my portfolio and confidence as a designer. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone pursuing design.
