University of West Los Angeles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of West Los Angeles (UWLA) is a private, non-profit university with two campuses in the Los Angeles metropolitan area at Inglewood and Woodland Hills, California. The university consists of a School of Law and School of Paralegal Studies.

UWLA was founded in 1966 and started its paralegal school in 1971. In 2002, the San Fernando Valley College of Law, previously an independent law school founded in 1962, was acquired and merged with UWLA.

In November, 2005, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges' Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities voted to terminate the UWLA School of Law's accreditation, effective June 30, 2006 to permit opportunity for currently enrolled students to complete their current term of study[1].
