Soka University of America
Soka University is a private, non-profit, four-year liberal arts college and graduate school located on 103-acres in south Orange County, California in the City of Aliso Viejo. SUA is just one mile from the beach (if you are a bird – seven miles driving) and located in the heart of Southern California’s abundance of cultural, educational, sporting and adventure opportunities.
SUA offers generous financial aid to both US and International students, with free tuition available to eligible admitted students whose earned family income is $60,000 or less (room and board fees still apply.) The mission of Soka University is to “foster a steady stream of global citizens committed to living a contributive life.”
SUA is secular and nonsectarian, though established by Soka Gakkai, a lay Buddhist organization. SUA’s history and educational philosophy originate in Soka Gakkai, particularly in the work of Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, who founded Soka Gakkai as a small group of educators dedicated to social and educational reform during the years leading up to World War II.
Soka University of America is a research and teaching hybrid. Faculty carry teaching loads comparable to major research institutions so they may pursue scholarship while focusing attention on teaching.
