And many Chapman students choose to take a third course in Chapman, one selected from a number of elective courses we offer in areas like Psychology, Ethnic Studies, Math, and Popular Culture. Chapman classes have a maximum of 28 students per class, and average in the mid twenties. Smaller classes allow us to serve student success far better. Finally, Chapman students are also required to reserve a two hour block of time every Wednesday afternoon for community-related events, such as films, plays, exhibits, trips, and panels. Nearly one quarter drop out after their first year.
Chapman allows students to become active participants in their own educational process.
And Chapman develops the mind, a civic conscience and the imagination in the company of friends. Freshman Composition courses are an integral part of the CLC curriculum. Most Chapman students will take ENG 110 or 111 in fall and ENG 112 in fall. Those who place into ENG 112 in fall or who are exempted from Freshman Composition entirely are still welcomed into the CLC community. These courses provide the foundation, in both communication skills and content, of a liberal education.
