The University of West Los Angeles began as a private educational institution with just six students in 1966, when a visionary group of local educators resolved to address the need for educational programs geared toward the working adult. With a mission of democratizing education and broadening the greater community's access to top-notch education in law, UWLA was born. UWLA has been providing high quality education to budding legal professionals ever since. In July 2002, the law school expanded by acquiring the San Fernando Valley College of Law, located in Chatsworth.
