Argyros School of Business – Chapman University

History

Chapman University was founded as Hesperian College in 1861 by members of the Disciples of Christ denomination of the Christian Church. In 1934, it was renamed as Chapman College, in honor of its largest donor up until that point. Chapman College became Chapman University in 1991, and in recent years has taken strategic steps to place itself more prominently in the national spotlight.
