Soka University of America is a private higher education institution in Aliso Viejo, California, offering a liberal arts education with a global orientation. Nestled on 103 acres, the campus supports a close learning environment with a 7:1 student-faculty ratio and a guaranteed study-abroad experience for undergraduates. Half of the student body is from the United States, while the other half represents more than 40 countries. The university was founded on principles of peace, human rights, and the dignity of life, and tuition is free for eligible admitted students from families earning $90,000 or less.

In the higher education sector, the institution emphasizes a global liberal arts education grounded in its peace and human rights ethos. A recent development in May 2026 indicates exclusive negotiations to acquire the Middlebury Institute of International Studies campus in Monterey, California, signaling a potential expansion of its campus footprint.
