Historical Data	Founded as Hesperian College in Northern California, the school began classes on March 4, 1861. In 1896, it incorporated with the Berkeley Bible Seminary. On September 13, 1920, the newly incorporated California School of Christianity opened its doors in its temporary quarters in the Wilshire Boulevard Christian Church. On September 12, 1921 the school moved to its new location at 766 N. Vermont Avenue, where it would remain until 1942. In 1923, the school changed its name to California Christian College. But in 1934, underwent another name change, this time to Chapman College, after board president and principal benefactor, Charles C. Chapman. In 1942, Chapman College moved to the Whittier College Campus and shared its facilities until 1945, when it moved back to its Vermont Avenue site. In 1954, Chapman College relocated to Glassell St. and Palm Ave. in Orange, Calif. On September 10, 1991, it once again underwent a name change, becoming Chapman University. Today, Chapman University is the largest private, nonprofit university in Orange County; yearly tuition is $12,974 per student and room and board cost another $5,000 to $6,700. Chapman University, located at 333 N. Glassell Street is a Christian-affiliated liberal arts college. Though the school is related by covenant to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), it is not considered a "religious" university.
