We all have a creative side. At Chapman, you’ll be able to stay in touch with — and
even hone — yours, whether your major is a creative one or not.
We
provide funding for creative majors
just like we do for the sciences and humanities...
...so that you're free to
achieve all you can as an artist
.
We offer
creative minors
....
...so that you can
stay creative
even when your major isn't.
We're home to
dozens of creative clubs and student organizations
...
...so that you can connect with a creative community on campus.
Located at the heart of Southern California’s creative scene
Located in Orange, California, we're situated at the heart of a vibrant creative scene,
with connections to the Los Angeles and Orange County art communities, as well as
Hollywood. That means you will have plenty of opportunities to explore your creativity
— whether it’s in a creative major or minor, or more casually in a creative club or
student organization.
Supporting your development as an artist through…
Classes taught by a passionate group of professors who are all
active artists
.
Master classes led by
professionals in art and entertainment
, such as our
Filmmaker-in-Residence series
.
Scholarships that you can earn for excellence in artistic fields, grants to
fund your creative projects
and travel grants that you can use to study abroad.
Opportunities to
show off your work
at film festivals, art shows, galleries and more — locally and across the country.
Career services to help you
find work in creative industries
.
Access to
internships
in competitive creative fields — a great way to get your foot in the door.
Facilities equipped with the tools you need to reach your full potential as an artist.
Facilities
Art isn’t created in a vacuum. That means surrounding yourself with a community of
peers and making sure you have the right tools — and tech — for the job. At our on-campus
facilities, you’ll find both:
a community of artists
just as passionate as you are, plus spaces designed from the ground up for
collaboration and creativity
.
On campus, you’ll find:
Performing arts spaces and venues
, including the Musco Center for the Arts, one of the best university concert venues
in the country and the Sandi Simon Center for Dance, outfitted with t
Film production studios

art isn’t the career path for you.

major.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major, Dance minor
“Being interdisciplinary in any field is a huge advantage. At Chapman, I can pursue
a career path in the sciences while still being involved in dance.”
