The University of La Verne is a private not-for-profit university located in La Verne, California, United States, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles.
Founded in 1891, the university is composed of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Public Management, the LaFetra College of Education, the College of Health and Community Well-Being, and the College of Law, eight regional campuses throughout Southern California, and robust online offerings. Scholastic opportunities abound, thanks to more than 50 undergraduate programs, more than 20 master’s degrees, five doctorates, and six credential programs.
Across all of the colleges, La Verne’s approximately 6,000 traditional age and adult learners help make the federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution one of the most diverse universities in the nation. Nearly half of the traditional undergraduates are first-generation students – the first in their immediate families to attend college. More than 70 percent of University of La Verne students receive some form of financial aid.
The university is also a pioneer in adult education, offering accelerated programs for adult learners at the La Verne Campus, regional campuses, and online.
University of La Verne is dedicated to the belief that a quality, values-based education enriches the human condition by engendering community engagement, scholarly accomplishment, and professionalism. Along with encouraging diversity, the university focuses on the individual as evidenced by its small class sizes. Professors are personally engaged and committed to helping students achieve their academic and professional goals.
The University of La Verne recognizes that higher education in the United States is at a crossroad. Several forces are reshaping the competitive landscape and our strategic response:
Economic;
Demographic;
Value Proposition;
Information Revolution;
WSCUC Review; and
2020 Crisis Year.
Our Strategic Response
The 2025 Strategic Plan positions the university to successfully compete in this environment. Distinctiveness will arise from both the programs that we offer and quality delivery of what we offer. The former involves high potential health programs that address regional needs. The latter rests upon educational excellence in delivering existing and new programs, undergirded by four strategic themes:
High-Value Education
Inclusive Environment
Holistic Education
Performance Excellence and Innovation
Consistent with our values, the first three themes focus our efforts on delivering clear educational value for learners as whole persons in an affirming environment conducive towards intellectual, personal, civic, and career growth. The final theme makes strategic pursuits viable and sustainable by emphasizing evidenced-based, continuous improvement in university operations and processes.
The strategy also takes into account future student demographics that will be increasingly Latinx, adult, veteran, transfer, and low-income by embracing our Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) status and building upon our traditional strength with adult learners. The university will be a destination of choice for these fast growing student demographics by offering a flexible, personalized, career-focused education within an inclusive learning environment for all students.
