Downtown Los Angeles

In keeping with our mission to embrace diverse and underserved populations, our Los Angeles campus is located in the heart of the most diverse city in the most diverse state in our nation.

This urban campus is located in the city’s downtown business district, in the historic “617 building,” with its incredible barrel ceilings and gleaming brass elevators—that open into our ultra-contemporary campus with exposed duct work, concrete floors, dramatic lighting, and state-of-the-art technology. The campus is just steps from the metro train station and public parking, and a short drive from the 110, 101, 5, and 10 freeways.

Westwood

Our Westwood campus is located in the center of Westwood Village, a lively neighborhood next to the UCLA campus and a short drive to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and several public beaches. This “urban yet suburban” neighborhood (with high-end restaurants, eclectic cafes and sandwich shops, retail shopping, and more) provides students access to UCLA’s libraries and other amenities, ample convenient parking, and easy access to the 405, 101, and 10 freeways. 

The Westwood campus is also home to one of our well-known Chicago School Counseling Centers which provide students the extraordinary opportunity to gain real-world training while also learning marketing and operations related to running a private practice or mental health clinic.
