The University of La Verne opened in 1891 as Lordsburg College, founded by members of the Church of the Brethren. Enrollment fell to 12 students in 1901. The college and town were renamed La Verne in 1917, an independent board of trustees took over in 1933 and the school became a university in 1977, though board seats are still held for Brethren members and the campus minister must belong to the church. Off-campus programmes began in 1969 and later grew into regional campuses in Irvine, Burbank and Ontario. The university reported 7,396 regular students in fall 2019 and IPEDS lists 7,143 for 2023. The Leopards compete in NCAA Division III in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which they joined in 1926; the women's volleyball team has three D-III national titles and the baseball team won the 1995 College World Series.
