Similarly, the school, located in Los Angeles, a global center for arts, technology and international business in the heart of the Pacific Rim, is a hub for entrepreneurship that connects students from 64 countries.

It is the home of the first operational quantum computing center in academia. Our alumni include Neil Armstrong, first human on the moon; A.C.
