Certificates, associate, baccalaureate, and juris doctor degrees from Humphreys College are awarded in a number of fields within four broad academic areas: law, business, human services, and liberal arts.
Most colleges offer either associate or bachelor degrees, but not both. At Humphreys, students can earn a two-year associate degree and then continue to earn a four-year bachelor degree, providing them with the flexibility to manage their educational goals. This stair-step approach to education has helped many students start at the certificate level, proceed to the associate level, and finish with a bachelor degree.
Humphreys College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Humphreys College is an independent, non-profit college with campuses in Modesto and Stockton. It has been in continuous service to the central San Joaquin Valley since 1896, giving it the distinction of being the first institution of higher education in the area. It awards certificates, associate's, bachelor's and juris doctor degrees. The College is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities.
Although records show the existence of the school in Stockton going as far back as 1875, Humphreys College dates its founding to 1896 when John R. Humphreys, Sr. took over the administration of the Stockton Business College, Normal School, and Telegraphic Institute. When Humphreys died in 1937, his son, John R. Humphreys, Jr. took over the running of the school.
The name of the school changed several times, at one point known as "Western School of Commerce"; however, in 1947, the school incorporated as a non-profit institution of higher learning with the state of California, and took the name that it is known by today.
In 1950, the school incorporated a four-year, part-time law school, now known as the Laurence Drivon School of Law; a second law school was founded in Fresno as well, but is no longer in existence. In 1987 a new campus was established in Modesto, CA in conjunction with and on the Modesto Junior College campus, later becoming a separate campus at its current location. A Sacramento campus was opened in 1990, assuming the operation (but not the business) of two closing court reporting colleges, Unilex College and Careercom College of Business; however, under economic pressure and dwindling enrollment this campus closed in 2001.
A partnership with the Stockton Unified School District in 2005 produced the Institute of Business Management and Law, a charter high school located in the west campus building complex.
