Why CDU?
- Small class size: more personal attention from instructors
- The “CDU Advantage”: a curriculum based on five specific pillars—research, social justice, international exposure, experiential education, and health policy—that gives CDU graduates both solid preparation to practice in their chosen field of healthcare, and a true understanding of health disparities, health policy and social justice
- Diversity leader: CDU named the second most diverse four-year private nonprofit college in the nation, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education (August 2017)
- Increased earnings potential: CDU called a “hidden gem” by a Brookings Institute college evaluation system, ranking us third nationally for providing the greatest value-added boost to alumni in occupational earnings power
- Mission driven education
- Los Angeles location: big-city amenities, entertainment and cultural events
