Soka University of America
At Soka, you'll learn to build peace — not just study it.
Our campus in Aliso Viejo, Southern California, overlooks wilderness and sits three miles from the Pacific Ocean. Here, we foster global citizens who work for a better world. A 7:1 student-faculty ratio means professors know your work, your questions, and how to push your thinking. You'll live alongside students from over 40 countries, and spend a semester abroad in a country that challenges your perspective.
Study abroad is a core part of the Soka experience—and it's included in your tuition. Generous financial aid makes a Soka education accessible to qualified students regardless of family income.
Compete as a Soka Lion: We field soccer, track and field, cross-country, swimming and diving, volleyball, and golf teams in the Great Southwest Athletic Conference of the NAIA. Represent courage on and off the field.
