American Jewish University, with its two distinct campuses (Bel-Air and Simi Valley), provides students with a broad spectrum of opportunities. The Familian Campus  characterized by contemporary open-air architecture and grassy, tree-lined walkways, is set on 27-acres adjacent to one of the most desirable neighborhoods in L.A. Located on a rustic hilltop which offers panoramic views, FC is within a 30 minute drive to Hollywood, the beaches and other major L.A. sites. The 2,700 acre Brandeis-Bardin Campus (BBC), nestled in hills 45 minutes from Los Angeles, has a kibbutz-like feel which many compare to Israel. The BBC is a working ranch with countless hiking trails, camping areas, swimming pools, gardens, and wildlife. On any given day you might see horses running down the hillside, wild cattle grazing, or peacocks wandering through the campus.

We are an American Jewish University for the entire community: college students, graduate students, aspiring rabbis, Jews of every age, belief, background and denomination, and non-Jews as well. We invite you to learn more about our wealth of programs, how we are impacting the world and how you, too, can become a part of our extended community. We invite you to visit and explore our campuses and their beautiful surroundings.
