    It's RA

    It's a good "great" regional college with (RA). I'm told that the school has a CIA connection, also their security department drives a fleet of 50K high end vehicle.

    One more thing, the famous TV show Bev. Hills 90120 was actually at this college, on the TV show it was called "California University":D

    How cool:cool:

    I would mind getting a degree from a school that let 90210 use their school as a location. :)

    Here in NY people who goe to CW Post in Brookville, still brag about having the soap opera "Loving" filmed there.

    What a great conversation starter.

    Occidental is located in Los Angeles City, zip code 90041, and is close to Glendale and Passadena.
    Incidently universities ( other organizations too) love to have movies made on their campus' during summer because it is a great source of income.

    You have to like a school whose students refer to themselves as 'Oxymorons'.

    But does Occidental offer any DL programs? I don't know of any, but if they exist they are probably both prestigious and expensive.

    This school has a DL progam in Dipolomacy and World Affairs, It's a strong entry point for the CIA, FBI & SS Agencies



    The Chevalier interdepartmental major in Diplomacy and World Affairs provides an opportunity for young men and women to prepare for a broad spectrum of careers in international relations. Recognizing the variety of goals of such internationally-oriented students, the major cuts across several related disciplines. Offerings in the Departments of Anthropology, Economics, History, Languages and Literatures, Politics, Public Policy, Religious Studies, and Sociology supplement the core courses offered by the DWA department itself.

    The Chevalier Program was established in 1957 by the late Mrs. Stuart Chevalier to honor the memory of her husband, a distinguished lawyer and pioneer leader on behalf of the United Nations, who for nineteen years served as a member of Occidental’s Board of Trustees. The program, further strengthened through the contributions of other donors, is one of the few undergraduate interdisciplinary majors in international relations offered by an institution the size of Occidental. The department hosts active Model United Nations and Model Arab League programs at the College, and an annual World Affairs Day for interested high school seniors.

    OCCIDENTAL-AT-THE-UNITED NATIONS: DWA sponsors an Occidental-at-the-United Nations Fall semester in New York for a selected group of students under the supervision of Professor Sherry, the Program Director (see DWA 321, 323, 325, 327). Students participating in the U.N. program reside near United Nations headquarters and take the regular sixteen unit load. Other programs of interest to DWA majors include Occidental Abroad and Occidental-in-Washington, D.C. (see International Programs and Politics).
