University Honors Program

ยป University Honors Program

The Honors Program is designed for academically talented and intellectually curious students who want to pursue interdisciplinary and cross-cultural studies. The program combines a flexible, interdisciplinary curriculum with small, discussion-centered classes.

Students and faculty are encouraged to connect and share emerging ideas, drawing on shared texts, lectures, seminar discussions and cultural experiences. The mission is to prepare students for personally fulfilling and socially responsible lives during their college years at Chapman and beyond. Watch this short video to see Honors in action and hear what our students have to say:
