About the University
Westcliff University’s main Irvine site is located at the 16-acre Intersect Campus in the heart of the Orange County airport area of Irvine, Southern California. Beautifully designed, the university’s buildings are lined with palm trees and modern landscaped gardens, just a short distance from the beach.
Here the university’s facilities and outstanding student services go above and beyond in helping students get the most from university life.
From the Westcliff Writing Center, which provides help with assignment review, in-class workshops and dissertation writing, to the Library & Digital Resources Center, which has an online library collection of more than 80 million scholarly resources, and Westcliff’s Peer Mentor programme, offering 1:1s with assigned mentors, support is in abundance across the university.
Moreover, students can make lifelong connections through a great variety of student clubs and a wide-ranging student events calendar, including cultural festivals, business showcases, athletic games, job fairs and resume workshops.
Since joining the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and California Pacific Conference in 2021, Westcliff Athletics has won six national championships, 25 conference championships and five individual championships for a total of 31 athletic championships – an outstanding achievement for the Westcliff Warriors.
Accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), Westcliff University is also approved by California’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE).
