For over 120 years, Humphreys University has been serving the Central Valley with quality, affordable, and accessible higher education.

Humphreys has evolved from a secretarial and vocational school, to a two-year degree granting institution, to a four-year degree granting institution, to a regionally accredited undergraduate, graduate, and law school. Our mission has always been to offer student-oriented instruction in career-oriented fields, with a foundation in liberal arts. Never focused on mass-production, Humphreys is committed to small class sizes, quality service, personalized attention, and meeting the needs of individual students.

Our history informs our future. As the university grows and adapts to the needs of students and the community, it continues to maintain its unique character and core focus on the individual, contributing to the personal development and advancement of its students. We are honored to be a part of this great community and to contribute to the growth and success of our students. The Stockton campus offers Associates, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.
