WELCOME TO IRVINE UNIVERSITY

The University’s roots go back to the early 1970’s when a group of Attorneys and Professors founded a predecessor under the name “Irvine University”, one of whose graduates eventually became a judge of the Orange County Superior Court. A change of ownership brought the current iteration of Irvine University into existence in 1993, about 16 years ago. The first college of the University was the College of Law. Since that time, Irvine University College of Law has fostered the development of the legal education of many professionals. Among our alumni are judges, practicing lawyers, politicians, international personages, successful administrators and business owners.

Irvine University College of Law offers an affordable, high quality legal education to the broadest range of qualified applicants. Students seeking opportunities in litigation and other legal work obtain the benefits of a legal education. Those who do not wish to practice law gain the legal knowledge necessary to protect business interests and engage in commerce with confidence. Finally, some students simply wish to learn more about the basis of their Governmental and Judicial functions.

In the spring of 2003, Irvine University established the College of Business and the College of Liberal Arts. It added to its curriculum certificate, undergraduate, and graduate programs in Business Administration, Education, and English studies.

The college enjoys excellent relations with its community. In a 2006 proclamation, the City of Cerritos commended the university’s role in community life. In June, 2008, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution commending the university for educational achievement in our business, law, and liberal arts programs, recognizing our contribution in providing educational opportunities and advancement for county residents. Lee Baca, Sheriff of Los Angeles County, attended the university’s 2008 commencement ceremonies at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles Music Center, to personally congratulate sheriff’s deputies who were graduating with JD Degrees.

Whether you are interested in a full-time or part-time program, Irvine University makes it possible for you to pursue your education. Students who work full-time are now enrolled in various courses throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Irvine University provides a meaningful alternative to other schools by emphasizing a high quality education in a highly interactive seminar-like learning environment.
