Proposed Changes to University of La Verne College of Law edit

Information to be added:

The University of La Verne was founded as Lordsburg College in 1891 by members of the Church of the Brethren, a religious denomination emerging in 18th century Germany that migrated to California by way of Pennsylvania in the 19th century.[1] The surrounding town changed its name to La Verne in 1917[2], and the school followed suit not long after, renaming itself La Verne College[3]. Through the 1920s and ‘30s, the college primarily granted education degrees but gradually started diversifying its programs toward the middle of the 20th century[4]. As part of this growth effort, the school granted its first master’s degree in 1965[5].

Realizing it needed a larger location, La Verne College of Law moved from the Hoover building on the main campus in La Verne, Calif., to a new location in Ontario in 2001[6]. The seven-acre campus with a 64,000 square foot facility is located adjacent to Ontario City Hall, the Ontario Civic Center, and the City Library[7].
