Laurus College is a private California-based institution offering Associate and Bachelor of Science degrees through its flexible hybrid Laurus Learning model. With sites across California and Nevada, it serves working adults seeking career-focused credentials in business, healthcare, and technology through a blend of live virtual classes and optional in-person support.
As a primarily online institution with distributed learning sites, Laurus College's student community is largely virtual. Students connect through online class sessions, discussion boards, and dedicated student support staff. In-person touchpoints at learning sites allow for face-to-face interaction with peers and advisors. Career services help students translate academic learning into employment outcomes.
Federal financial aid (FAFSA) is available to eligible US students. International students should inquire directly about payment plans and any available institutional scholarships.
Laurus College is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) and approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) in California.
International students primarily enter on the F-1 visa, which requires enrolment at a SEVP-certified institution. Before the visa interview the school issues a Form I-20 — a certificate of eligibility — for which a Designated School Official must verify documented funds covering tuition, living expenses and travel for the first year, plus a reliable source for subsequent years. The financial evidence must be specific and from an identified source.
F-1 students may work on campus up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session and full-time during official breaks, with no separate authorization needed. Off-campus work is generally not permitted in the first academic year. After one academic year in good standing, students may use Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for paid work that is an integral part of the curriculum, authorized by the school; other off-campus work requires an approved Employment Authorization Document from USCIS.
After completing a degree, F-1 students may apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) — up to 12 months of work authorization in a related field — by filing Form I-765 and receiving an EAD before starting work. Graduates of a degree on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List may apply for a 24-month STEM OPT extension, for up to 36 months total. The extension requires an E-Verify employer and a qualifying STEM degree earned within the previous ten years.
Approximate all-in student budget; major cities run higher.
