The university offers more than 50 degree, certificate, credential and professional programs for working adults. Brandman is a separate, fully accredited university within the Chapman University System. Gary Brahm is the appointed Chancellor of Brandman University. In 1958, Brandman was established by Chapman University in Orange, California, that was founded in 1861. Formerly named Chapman University College, Brandman's original purpose was delivering education to the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Irvine, California. In 2009, it was renamed Brandman University after a substantial donation from the Joyce and Saul Brandman Foundation. Brandman is a "Military-Friendly School" according to G.I. Jobs Magazine and Military.com and a Yellow Ribbon School. Brandman University offers reduced tuition rates for active military, their spouses and dependents. Brandman has campuses on military bases at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor, Naval Air Station Lemoore, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Travis Air Force Base, and the Navy Campus Education Center at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The university offers degree programs through five schools: The Marybelle and S. Paul Musco School of Nursing and Health Professions; School of Education; School of Business and Professional Studies; School of Arts and Sciences; and School of Extended Education. Brandman uses a curriculum model known as iDEAL (Instructional Design for Engaged Adult Learning). According to a study by the Lumina Foundation, iDEAL addresses both the flexibility and learning methodology preferred by adult learners. iDEAL combines traditional classroom instruction with e-learning activities. Courses are available as hybrid (combined in-person and online formats), fully online or competency-based via Brandman MyPath. The university is regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and is a member of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL).

I'm so confused. You only have 3 photos on your google profile. No description of what your university does. It just says closed. Do you actually give degrees out? You a one semester college?
