The University of the West, founded in 1991, is a private non-profit university located in Southern California. Accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission, UWest offers a whole-person education informed by Buddhist wisdom and values, fostering cultural understanding and appreciation between East and West.
With a small campus set on an 11-acre hillside overlooking a nature preserve, UWest provides a serene environment that blocks out the sounds of the city while still being close to major attractions in The Entertainment Capital of the World. The university offers a wide range of academic programs, including English language learning, undergraduate and graduate programs in various fields, and scholarship opportunities for international students.
