Founded merely a half century ago on land donated by the son of Norwegian immigrants, California Lutheran University (CLU) has grown from a small liberal arts college to California Lutheran Universitya dynamic university offering undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
Nestled among the rolling hills of Thousand Oaks, just an hour from Los Angeles, CLU's intimate size — 2,000 undergraduate students and 1,000 graduate students — and beautiful location create the perfect backdrop for a learning environment that values each individual student.
Our Lutheran Heritage
Rooted in the Lutheran tradition of higher education, CLU welcomes students of all faiths and encourages dialogue exploring faith and reason. The University’s values-based programs consistently support students as they begin to make important life decisions that impact not only their career choices but also their development as contributing members of society.
Emphasis on High Academic Achievement
With 36 majors and 31 minors to choose from, CLU students graduate with highly marketable degrees. Approximately 98 percent of CLU students have jobs or are accepted to graduate schools within nine months of graduation.
The Core-21 curriculum is designed to instill the habits of the mind that are necessary for students to become lifelong, independent learners and responsible world citizens who can adapt to, create and change the society of the future.CLU Samuelson Chapel

In addition, CLU provides more than 1,500 internship opportunities in the region and hundreds more throughout the United States for students seeking hands-on job experience.

Students are encouraged to find their passion at CLU. Whether they are on the playing field, on stage or in a laboratory, CLU students have the opportunity to follow their dreams while making strides toward a meaningful career.
