Chapman University Rankings by Salary Score™

Chapman provides the educational tools students need to succeed, but could greatly improve on their staff and overall administration. They hire more than enough employees, but this means in order to answer one simple question, a student must go through 10 different people and multiple website links. The tuition is ridiculously high so you have to be emotionally prepared for the debt you'll put yourself through. Dodge, the film school is what Chapman is known for, but within the school, there are certain majors... Read More that receive much more attention and aid than others. For example, the film production majors receive more educational help, outside professor aid, and budgets for films than those who work in the Broadcast Journalism's news or documentary majors. Parking is alright now that they've opened a new parking structure. On campus dorming continues to improve, but at a hefty cost. Chapman does not provide many online classes, during my 3.5 years there, I've only seen one class available online and it was full before most of us could even sign up. The school changes their degree requirements and hesitates to tell their students which almost risked my degree receival AFTER I had already graduated, gotten accepted to grad school, and was on my way to move to another state. Chapman means well, especially if you're looking for a job in the entertainment industry, but there are plenty of financial and administrative bumps along the way which will haunt you long after you've graduated.
