ABOUT AMERICAN HERITAGE UNIVERSITY

American Heritage University of Southern California founded in 2003 and incorporated in the State of California under the name Heritage University, is an approved private, non-profit, independent institution of higher learning formed and organized under the laws and regulations of the Secretary of State of the State of California. We offer quality degree programs in Law, Business Management and Computer Information Systems. We also offer Paralegal Studies and are approved for CNA Nursing Certificate Programs. Classes are based on traditional and non-traditional modes of instruction.

Originally incorporated in January of 2004, as Heritage University in Montclair, California as a distance education institution, the Institution changed its name in 2005 to American Heritage University. The name change was necessary due to the discovery of the existence of another California corporation with a similar name. Also in 2005, the Institute relocated to 255 North D Street in San Bernardino, California. In October of 2006, the University enhanced its distance learning methodology by adopting a hybrid mode of instruction, combining traditional classroom educational methods and state-of-the-art technologies. In May of 2009, the name changed to and has remained American Heritage University of Southern California.

Under the leadership of its founder and current President, Dr. Tony B.E. Ogiamien, AHUSC\'s curriculum, coursework and learning materials have continued to expand to provide for an increasingly geographically, culturally and economically diverse pool of adult learners. AHUSC has also maintained an equally diverse body of faculty members to service the particular needs of its student body.
