Soka University of America (SUA) is a private, non-profit institution in Aliso Viejo, Orange County (next to Laguna Beach), Southern California.
It offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in liberal arts and a Master of Arts (M.A.) in educational leadership and societal change.
Each offers a unique curriculum that emphasizes leadership and contributive citizenship.
SUA was founded on the Buddhist principles of peace, human rights, and the sanctity of life. The curriculum, however, is entirely secular.

Undergraduates are required to study a non-native language and study abroad for a semester in a country where that language is spoken. (The cost of this is included in tuition).
Undergraduates with a family income below $90,000 and who have demonstrated financial need have their tuition covered by a combination of grants and scholarships from the university, federal and state governments, and private agencies.
SUA also offers generous needs-based aid to students whose household income is greater than $90,000 as well as scholarship opportunities that are not based on family income.
