Learn More About CalSouthern

California Southern University is an entirely different type of university designed with the student in mind.

Notable features include:

  • Accreditation: CalSouthern is a member of the American InterContinental University System. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (hlcommission.org), an institutional accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
  • 100% online educational experience
  • Monthly Class Starts
  • 40+ years of experience educating students
  • 20+ degree programs to choose from

Flexible Offerings

Instead of traditional college students CalSouthern was created for working professionals with family commitments, full-time jobs, and busy lives who want to pursue their educational goals. Monthly class-starts allow students to begin and proceed at their own pace. This means while working within the course term, you decide when to access and complete required weekly assignments.

Rather than strict academic requirements, CalSouthern stresses personal achievement, intellectual curiosity and a passion for learning. No potential student is denied enrollment into an associate or baccalaureate program, however, all prospective students must meet CalSouthern’s admissions requirements.

Options for Affordability

The cost of CalSouthern’s programs come with no-interest, monthly payment plans. With CalSouthern, your tuition and program costs won’t change as long as you remain continuously enrolled for the duration of your degree program.

100% Online and Personalized Courses

Finally, instead of classroom-only learning, CalSouthern’s all-online format offers the accessibility and convenience to appeal to place-bound students in all geographies and life phases.

Above all is the CalSouthern pledge that all-online education and personalized attention don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Unique to the University, our faculty personally guide students through the program to tangibly apply course material to their lives and careers.

We invite you to see for yourself what makes CalSouthern so special.
