FACTBOOK2014-2015
We are pleased to provide this copy of the 2015 AICCU Factbook, A Public Private
Partnership at Work. For nearly 60 years, the AICCU (Association of Independent
California Colleges and Universities) and its 77 member institutions have championed
student access and choice in California higher education. As recognized in the
California Master Plan for Higher Education, AICCU colleges and universities have
played a crucial role in educating the state’s citizenry. They educate and train
tomorrow’s leaders today.
The Factbook highlights AICCU member institutions’ commitment to educational
excellence, diversity, and community service. From investing in research that drives
innovation to ensuring access to students from all backgrounds through financial aid,
the private nonprofit colleges and universities of California are serving a public
purpose that benefits the state and the nation.
AICCU members have collectively made a commitment to California’s future. Initia-
tives aimed at adult degree completion programs, articulation and transfer agree-
ments, and local employment extend the reach of the institutions to students and
workers who, without such programs, would find themselves with limited options to
pursue the California dream.
We at AICCU have a sense of pride as we celebrate our 60th anniversary this year.
Just as we’ve done for nearly six decades, our staff, members of our board and the
AICCU as a whole will continue to advocate for student choice by working with our
members and the state of California as well as with our students and their families.
We recognize that the students we educate are our most important priority and we
take our commitment to them seriously.
We are confident that our shared commitment to educational opportunity will continue
to positively affect the future of all Californians. On behalf of the AICCU and Califor-
nia’s nonprofit sector, we hope you enjoy this guide.
Sincerely,
Kristen F. Soares Pamela A. Eibeck President, AICCU Chair, AICCU Executive Committee

Founded in 1955, the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) represents 77 California private nonpro�t colleges and universities. The core mission of AICCU institutions is to improve lives through higher education. AICCU institutions are committed to the public good and are incredibly diverse—ranging from small to large traditional liberal arts institutions, nationally ranked research universities, faith-based, performing and visual arts, "non-traditional" programs of study, and professional schools that specialize in business, law, medicine, and more. Accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is required for membership, as is ful�lling a public purpose through nonpro�t status. In addition to providing creative and intellectual higher education resources to assure California's future economic vitality, AICCU institutions are major contributors to the economies of the regions they serve—as large employers and consumers of local goods and services. California’s partnership with its private nonpro�t colleges and universities has played a pivotal role in the development of the state's model higher education o�erings and in making California a symbol of innovation across the globe.
