Small Classes

Most classes will contain 15 students or fewer, allowing for a high degree of individualization and interaction between faculty and students.

Convenient Scheduling

A Focus on the Working Adult

The University welcomes graduate students who have jobs and are unable to study "full time." ULV's graduate and professional courses have been designed to accommodate the special situation of the adult students it serves.

Other Students Who Are A Lot Like You

The University is set in the heart of the residential section of the suburban community of La Verne. La Verne takes pride in its small town atmosphere and low crime rate. Ample free parking is available around the campus.
