When the agricultural town of Lordsburg renamed itself to [[La Verne, California|La Verne]] in 1917, Lordsburg College renamed itself accordingly, becoming "La Verne College". The college reorganized in 1977, 87 years after its founding, to become the University of La Verne. Since then, the university has grown to consist of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Public Management, the LaFetra College of Education, the College of Law, and multiple regional campuses.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

The University of La Verne conferred its first [[Master's degree|master's]] degree in 1965 and awarded its first [[doctorate]] in 1969. In 1969, La Verne began its adult education program. The university opened its first regional campus, in [[Orange County, California|Orange County]], in 1981 and has since opened additional locations throughout the area, including [[Vandenberg AFB]] and [[Pt. Mugu]]. Despite its Church of the Brethren heritage, the university describes itself as non-sectarian.<ref>{{Cite news| url = http://sites.laverne.edu/chaplain/religious-life-at-la-verne/|title= Religious Life at La Verne|publisher=Office of Religious and Spiritual Life |access-date = April 20, 2015}}</ref>
