Talk:University of La Verne College of Law

Proposed Changes to University of La Verne College of Law
Information to be added:

The University of La Verne was founded as Lordsburg College in 1891 by members of the Church of the Brethren, a religious denomination emerging in 18th century Germany that migrated to California by way of Pennsylvania in the 19th century. The surrounding town changed its name to La Verne in 1917, and the school followed suit not long after, renaming itself La Verne College. Through the 1920s and ‘30s, the college primarily granted education degrees but gradually started diversifying its programs toward the middle of the 20th century. As part of this growth effort, the school granted its first master’s degree in 1965.

Realizing it needed a larger location, La Verne College of Law moved from the Hoover building on the main campus in La Verne, Calif., to a new location in Ontario in 2001. The seven-acre campus with a 64,000 square foot facility is located adjacent to Ontario City Hall, the Ontario Civic Center, and the City Library.
