We're a private research university in the heart of Los Angeles, home to more than 48,000 students and over 4,400 full-time faculty across our 23 schools and academic units. Since our founding in 1880, when Los Angeles was little more than a frontier town, we've grown into one of the world's leading research institutions. We're not just about classroom learning - we engage in forward-looking, collaborative research with industries worldwide to tackle some of the most complex issues facing humanity today.
What drives us is a commitment to developing the whole person. Our students work alongside leading experts and supportive faculty, tapping into a dynamic global network that extends far beyond graduation. Whether it's through pioneering artificial intelligence research, exploring medical frontiers, or creating new knowledge that shapes public policy, we're defining conversations and influencing real change. We believe advanced education enriches the human mind and spirit, and we're dedicated to making that education accessible through cutting-edge technology and contemporary learning approaches.
