2011-2012 CATALOG 2 BRANDMAN UNIVERSITY – 2011-2012 CATALOG MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR Commitment to Access and Collaboration For more than 50 years, Brandman University (formerly Chapman University College) has been committed to providing quality undergraduate and graduate degrees, certificates, teaching credentials and extended education programs to working adults at campuses throughout California and Washington. As we move into our next 50 years, we have a new vision – to be the leader in the evolution of adult education. To expand our educational opportunities for working students, Chapman University announced the renaming of Chapman University College to Brandman University, a separate, fully accredited university, and the first member of the Chapman University System. This transition was born of the desire to offer an increasing diversity of degrees, through more innovative online and on-campus approaches, to a greater number of adult students in California, Washington, the United States, and some day, even abroad. As Brandman University, we are able to be highly innovative as we expand our services to meet the needs of adult students. As part of Chapman University, we will continue to proudly uphold the heritage of academic excellence synonymous with a Chapman degree since 1861. I personally invite you to become acquainted with us and experience the vision and core values that drive us - quality academic programs, innovative delivery systems, and personalized student services. You can visit one of our campuses located throughout California and Washington, or visit us online at www.brandman.edu to see how we can expand your intellectual and professional horizons.
