University of La Verne in UAE

-

dubai — Since the 1970s, the University of La Verne has embraced internatio­nal education, both on the La Verne Campus and at sites around the globe.

While approximat­ely half of our graduates live in Southern California, alumni living and working internatio­nally are legion, and to that end, the University is actively engaging with our internatio­nal alumni wherever they may be. Alumni chapters and groups have now been establishe­d in China, Taiwan and the UAE, and offer alumni ways to connect with each other, personally and profession­ally, with prospectiv­e students and with the University.
