Why USU?
We've kept tuition and class size low while growing our commitments to diversity and community - it's all part of our student-centered education. United States University

Whether you're starting or continuing your college education, you need the support of your family, friends, employers, and – most importantly – your university. At USU, we pride ourselves on the principles of a student-centered education – an education in which the entire university community is dedicated to the success of each and every student.

We demonstrate this dedication through small class sizes that ensure no student is left behind, affordable tuition rates that make education accessible to people of all classes and nationalities, and a diverse student body that promotes inclusiveness and understanding in the classroom, community, and world.

US University recruits and prepares adults from the local community to provide needed bilingual and bicultural services in both education and health care.

Since we first opened our doors with 12 working-adult students in 1997, more than 800 students have attended InterAmerican College, now known as United States University, on either a full-time or part-time basis.

The one characteristic that makes our University unique among other local universities is the diversity of our students and faculty. What surprises even the casual visitor is the cultural and linguistic diversity of the students and staff. This is partially the result of design and partially the result of the changing demographics of Southern California.

US University has created a spirit of community. As returning adults, US University students understand the stress of meeting work and family responsibilities while meeting class deadlines and preparing for exams. They are here to help one other, to encourage one another, and to ensure that everyone is respected for their culture and their language proficiency. This spirit reduces the affective filter and allows students to learn in a safe and accepting environment.

Our student-centered instruction is based on the following:

Understanding adult learners

Identifying learning outcomes

Assessing students’ knowledge and skills

Setting goals, objectives, and standards

Facilitating classroom learning
