Chapman University

Chapman University is a private R2 research university in Orange, California, with a growing portfolio of doctoral and professional programs and a collaborative, industry‑engaged culture. Co‑located labs in a modern science and engineering center support hands‑on prototyping and testing, while the graduate‑only Rinker Health Science Campus in nearby Irvine anchors research and clinical‑facing partnerships. Its Orange County location places faculty and students near a dense network of medtech and technology firms, enabling internships, joint studies, and sponsored research. Research is supported by competitive federal awards from agencies such as NIH and NSF, alongside state and industry sponsors. A dedicated technology transfer office streamlines invention disclosure, IP protection, licensing, and startup support.
