Located in La Verne, California, approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles, the University of La Verne occupies a suburban campus featuring a mix of historic Spanish architecture and modern facilities. Founded in 1891 by the Church of the Brethren as Lordsburg College, the private institution transitioned to its current name in 1917 and now operates as a non-sectarian university. The university maintains a moderate selectivity in admissions and is recognized for its business administration, education, and legal studies programs, with the College of Law serving as a distinct campus in Ontario, California. Students can choose from traditional undergraduate housing options in several residence halls, while the university competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Leopards, primarily through the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
