Chapman University
Chapman University is a private research university in Orange, California. It encompasses ten schools and colleges, including Fowler School of Engineering, Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, Fowler School of Law, and Schmid College of Science and Technology. Founded in Woodland, California, as Hesperian College, the school began classes on March 4, 1861. In 1920, the assets of Hesperian College were absorbed by California Christian College, which held classes in downtown Los Angeles. In 1934, the school was renamed Chapman College, after the chairman of its board of trustees and primary benefactor, C. C. Chapman. In 1954, it moved to its present campus in the city of Orange on the site formerly occupied by Orange High School. Chapman College became Chapman University in 1991.
