Founded in 1959, California Lutheran University is home to more than 3,059 undergraduate and 1,324 graduate students who come from more than 49 countries and represent a wide variety of faiths. California Lutheran University means small classes of students who are open-minded—about ideas, about people, and about faith—and are seeking to grow as individuals.
Cal Lutheran’s campus is nestled against the hills in Thousand Oaks, midway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The campus is not far from Malibu’s sandy beaches and also some of the best ski hubs. The campus offers a perfect blend of the dynamic rush of LA, with the laid-back vibes of Santa Barbara. With California’s year-round sunny weather, students can make the most of outdoor activities along with their studies.
