United States University (formerly InterAmerican College) endeavors to improve education and health care in Southern California by preparing bilingual professionals for schools and hospitals. US University’s mission is to recruit working adult students, Latinos, educated immigrants, and others who have been denied access to higher education due to gender, ethnicity, race, economic status, and cultural barriers. US University strives to equalize social justice by providing university programs through non-traditional scheduling to working adults. US University is one of four Latino institutions in the United States and the second in Southern California.
Since it first opened its doors with 12 working adult students in 1998, more than 800 students have attended InterAmerican College (currently United States University) on either a full-time or part-time basis
