University of La Verne School Description

The university can trace its beginning to 1891 when members of the Church of the Brethren, moving west to California, founded Lordsburg College. When the surrounding agricultural community of Lordsburg was renamed to La Verne in 1917, the institution followed suit and La Verne College was established. Recognized as an outstanding provider of teacher education, the college saw its campus, curriculum and student body grow to meet the expanding higher educational needs of the region. While in time the Board of Trustees became independent of church control, the college never lost its commitment to service or its dedication to sound, people-centered, values-oriented education.

It is the mission of the University of La Verne to provide opportunities for students to achieve their educational goals and become contributing citizens to the global community.
This is accomplished by offering high-quality degree programs to both traditional-aged and adult learners; providing liberal arts and professional programs from undergraduate to doctoral levels; and delivering programs to students at the central La Verne campus as well as regional campuses and satellite class locations throughout California.

The university provides a student-centered, values-based, and diverse learning environment. It takes pride in offering small class sizes in a highly personalized setting.
The university encourages effective teaching, research, scholarly contributions, and service to the greater community by sharing its academic, professional and individual resources.

Question: Can anyone tell me about the ranking of the university of La Verne, CA?

I studied Economics, there. Is it accredited? I want to know the international ranking, too. And, also ULV's position regarding Economics and Finance. Good Graduate Schools worldwide?

Are they accredited? Yes. Law School was granted ABA accreditation earlier this year (meaning, just barely and in the middle of a school year). So, at least one of the grad schools is accredited as well. So, the ranking isn't hard to figure out. Piss poor. There's no way to figure out it's international ranking. I imagine it's somewhere in the thousands range. Does this mean a degree from it is useless? No. You just have to recognize that you can say you have a degree. Just can't brag about what school it came from. The difference btw saying "I have a degree in Economics" and "I have a degree in Economics from the University of Chicago". That means you'll just have to show you're worthy of an employer's attention by your experience and skills rather than having the name of the school help give you the benefit of the doubt.
