Chapman University is rated among the top universities in the country, according to this year’s rankings from US News and World Report. The private institution ranked 125th in the nation in the report.
“We are thrilled to be moved into the category of National Universities,” President Daniele C. Struppa said in a statement from the university’s news site. “It is a great recognition of the increased quality, stature and reputation of Chapman. We have record student applications, distinguished faculty who are all very active in their disciplines, and incredible research and scholarly activity being recognized throughout the world. All of this has contributed to Chapman no longer being classified as a regional university.”
