The University of La Verne is a private university in La Verne, California (about 35 miles east of Los Angeles), founded in 1891. The university is composed of the College of Arts & Sciences, College of Business & Public Management, College of Education and Organizational Leadership, College of Law, the School of Continuing Education, and a regional campus administration. The university offers a full spectrum of degrees, including bachelor, master, doctoral, and first-professional.
The University of La Verne was founded in 1891 as Lordsburg College by members of the Church of the Brethren. Both the surrounding agricultural community and the College were renamed La Verne in 1917. The College reorganized in 1977 as the University of La Verne. At present, the structure of the University consists of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Public Management, the College of Education, the College of Law, and Regional Campuses.
The school conferred its first master's degree in 1965 and began an adult education program in 1969. ULV awarded its first doctorate in 1979. In 1981, the University founded a campus in Orange County and has since opened campuses throughout southern California.
The University of La Verne is an independent, nonsectarian and non-profit institution.
In January 2007, university President Steve Morgan announced that ULV had raised more than $33 million toward its five-year Building on Excellence Campaign, which runs from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2008.

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.
