ABOUT OUR WESTWOOD CAMPUS

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.

The Westwood campus is also home to one of our well-known Chicago School Counseling Centers, which provides students with the extraordinary opportunity to gain real-world training and the skills needed to run a private practice or mental health clinic.
