California Lutheran University is a private, 4-year institution located in Thousand Oaks, CA, near Simi Valley. Founded in 1959 by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the school had some unsteady years early on; but by the end of 1970, the school was financially solvent and launched a positive growth trend through the 1970’s to be a stable and sound institution. The 225 acre campus features the Barbara Collins Arboretum; the buildings are primarily of modern architectural style. The campus also includes a premier athletic facility including a long-course swimming pool and football field, both of which have been used by others including the Dallas Cowboys and the US Olympic Water Polo team.
