Chalon Campus
Our Chalon Campus is located in the Santa Monica Mountains, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the LA skyline. Chalon offers close access to the Getty Center, restaurants, shopping, beaches and the westside of Los Angeles. Chalon is home to our traditional undergraduate programs.
Doheny Campus
Our historic Doheny Campus is nestled in a private, park-like setting just south of Downtown Los Angeles. Doheny is home to our graduate programs as well as our adult degree completion programs. Students have access to the resources and activities on both campuses, and we have daily shuttles connecting our campuses.
Guaranteed Scholarships for Transfer Students
Starting at $13,000
We understand that transferring to a new school may be a financial challenge. That’s why we offer guaranteed scholarships for transfer students. These scholarships make a high-quality education at MSMU more affordable so you can focus on your academic goals instead of your finances.
Enrichment Beyond Academics
Our vibrant campus life springs from diverse student-led clubs catering to various cultural and professional interests. But we aren’t just about intellectual growth; we nurture leaders of tomorrow through student-led initiatives that provide real-world leadership experiences.
Social responsibility is a key part of life at MSMU, and we actively encourage community engagement. A wealth of volunteer opportunities are available, contributing to an enriching experience that extends beyond the university and into the greater community.
