Declaring a Themed Inquiry
At Chapman, you have the option to take part in a “themed inquiry.”
Themed inquiries
:
Are groups of classes based around a certain theme.
Cover many different subjects. To find out which themed inquiries you can take, see
our
themed inquiry list
.
Fulfill your
Exploration Focus
, which is one of your
General Education Requirements
.
Can be declared via your
Student Center
. See below for more details.
Steps to declare a themed inquiry
Step 1: Meet with your advisor
Themed inquiries are groups of classes with a focus. Declaring one won't have as big
an impact
on the time it takes to complete your degree as a second major or minor would.
However, we still recommend meeting with your advisor before declaring a themed inquiry.
Your advisor can help you:
Explore themed inquiries.
Choose a themed inquiry that aligns with your academic interests.
Plan how you will complete the classes in your themed inquiry.
Introduce you to the advisor for the themed inquiry if the subject falls under a different
school/college from your major.
And more.
You can look up your advisor by your current major on our
Find Your Advisor page
.
Step 2: Fill out the form for declaring a themed inquiry
Once you have spoken with your advisor, you are ready to declare your themed inquiry.
You can do this by following the steps below.
The steps will show you how to use the eForm in your Student Center to make the request
to declare your themed inquiry.

Do I need to declare a themed inquiry?
No. A themed inquiry is just one of several ways to fulfill your Exploration Focus,
which is one of your General Education requirements. The other ways to fulfill your
Exploration Focus are by:
Adding a minor
.
Adding a second major.
Completion of the University Honors Program.
You may choose to do any of the above instead of declaring a themed inquiry.
Can I declare multiple themed inquiries?
No. You only need to complete one themed inquiry to fulfill your
Exploration Focus
, and you may not declare any more than that.
