<p>Both are fine institutions, but I feel Chapman is the stronger of the two.
Chapman has a solid photography and dance programs. The dance team is top and won the national championships. Chapman also has plans to build a new performing arts center. The future looks bright for Chapman. Here are links to their programs.

There’s also a site that provides Chapman’s stats for their programs.

<p>As for Redlands, I believe they are having some budget issues going on and you’ll never know what’s going to happen. Here’s a news article regarding their financial situation.

Be sure to do your research carefully and also make sure you understand Redlands academic grading policies for their Johnston Center, because they are a bit different than most schools by offering of narrative evaluations instead of grades. If you must, opt for the grade in case you decide to go to grad school after graduation.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
