Mission  
School mission A nationally recognized, residential liberal arts college, and one of the few located in a major city, 121-year-old Occidental is at the forefront of interdisciplinary, intercultural education that integrates the classroom with community-based learning. Our small size and strong sense of community, rigorous curriculum, superb faculty, diverse student body and access to the resources of Los Angeles make Occidental the best of both worlds: intimate in scale, but infinite in scope. More than 75 percent of Occidental students receive some form of financial aid. Occidental graduates thrive in a wide range of careers, from science, medicine, and the law to the arts, business, teaching, and public service.
