In 1934 Hesperian College was renamed Chapman College after the benefactor C.C. Chapman.  It was in 1991 that Chapman College had become a University and was one of the top-tier Universities in the country.  There are seven schools and colleges associated with Chapman and they are  Dodge College of Film and Media, Wilkinson School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Argyros School of Business, Schmid College of Science and Technology, College of the Performing Arts, Dale E. Fowler School of Law and the College of Educational Studies.

Chapman is currently raising funds to build a 140,000 square foot Center for Science.  The projected student attendance is over 12,000 in the next few years with a cap of 20,000 students.  

The city of Orange is a diverse and varied city.  From downtown with the Craftsman, Bungalows and Spanish Colonial to the equestrian homes of Orange Park Acres.  Old Towne Orange is reminiscent of middle America with Watson's Soda Fountain and Pharmacy which is over 100 years old to the fountain in the plaza where people gather to discuss days events or maybe protest a political event.  The fountain has also been known for the finishing spot of the Chapman Undie Run (unofficially of course).
