Westcliff University is a private university with its main campus in Irvine, California, and further locations in Corona, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, San Francisco and Toronto, as well as affiliated institutions in Nepal (King's College and Presidential Graduate School). It received its initial approval from California's Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in 1993 and is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC); its business degrees are also accredited by ACBSP.
The university is organised into a College of Business, College of Education, College of Technology & Engineering, Western State College of Law, College of Nursing and Westcliff University Canada. It offers undergraduate and graduate certificates and degrees, including a Bachelor of Business Administration taught online or in hybrid format, master's and doctoral programmes for working professionals, and an MBA with a consulting capstone. According to the university, it has more than 9,000 students from over 110 countries and a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio.
Students can study online from their home country or on campus in Southern California. Westcliff does not run its own residences: its housing guide lists unaffiliated options, including the Collegiate Housing Service (11-month leases near campus, open to international students) and homestays.
