About University

At the University of San Diego School of Law, we believe in a collegial, creative, and balanced approach to life and law. It encourages us to build authentic, long-lasting relationships, innovate constantly, and grow together as a community. An ABA-accredited law school, the USD School of Law serves as the intellectual resource for advancing San Diego and beyond, with fresh thinkers and policy that can shape society and drive progress. The intersection of industries and entrepreneurialism in San Diego offers endless opportunity in the region and abroad. These factors, combined with an extensive network of supportive alumni, ensure students are prepared for wherever they go next. We aim to foster a community of people with diverse experiences and points of view. Always open-minded, we believe that diversity of thought drives dialogue. The broad spectrum of student and faculty perspectives provides an opportunity to hone critical thinking skills across policy and practices — a key to success in the legal field. Our proximity to an international border drives international exposure and encourages diverse perspectives.
