Since its inception, the college has demonstrated significant growth. A women’s division was added to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and schools of general studies, law and health sciences; three osteopathic medical schools in California, Nevada, and New York were subsequently organized. The college organized sister institutions in Paris, France,Berlin, Germany,Israel, and Russia (when it was part of the Soviet Union).
