American Jewish University, with its two distinct campuses, provides students with a broad spectrum of opportunities. The Familian Campus (FC), 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 3,000 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.
