The first and only program of its kind in the United States, faculty members with sizable industry experience provide students with expert knowledge of the legal aspects of the entertainment business, including intellectual property rights, entertainment contract negotiations, and licensing.
Additionally,
the school’s proximity to Hollywood and Southern California’s business market,
which enhances Chapman’s commitment to train students to compete in the
entertainment industry, offers untold opportunities for practical experience
and networking.
Students in
this concentration also have the ability to take as many as 6 credits from the
MFA program at Chapman’s noted Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, where the
curriculum will include classes taught jointly by law and film professors (some
of which are also available to film students). Upon completion, law
students will receive a formal certificate and transcript notation.
