California Southern University (previously called Southern California University for Professional Studies prior to June 2007) is a regionally accredited private university that began its operations in 1978. It offers associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs 100% online in business, psychology, criminal justice, nursing, and law. California Southern University is located in Costa Mesa, California.
The university was established in California on December 27, 1978, by Dr. Donald Hecht as a traditional correspondence school, and received its initial approval to offer degree programs from the California Department of Education. It originally offered associate level programs, then expanded to bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. During the 1990s, the university added distance learning programs in the fields of business, psychology and law. The University is now recognized as an online degree granting institution.
California Southern University offers bachelor's, master's and professional doctorate degrees entirely online without physical attendance on campus. It is regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The WASC Senior College and University Commission (”the Commission”) is a regional accrediting agency serving a diverse membership of public and private higher education institutions throughout California, Hawaii, and the Pacific as well as a limited number of institutions outside the U.S. Through its work of peer review, based on standards agreed to by the membership, the Commission encourages continuous institutional improvement and assures the membership and its constituencies, including the public, that accredited institutions are fulfilling their missions in service to their students and the public good.
The WASC Senior College and University Commission is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as certifying institutional eligibility for federal funding in a number of programs, including student access to federal financial aid.
California Southern University is licensed to operate in California by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education.
