University of Saint Katherine

The University of Saint Katherine (USK) was founded by Frank J. Papatheofanis, MD, PhD and incorporated on June 30, 2010, as a California not-for-profit corporation. USK was formerly known as Saint Katherine College and was approved for name change in November 2016 by the California Bureau for Private and Post-Secondary Education (BPPE). BPPE approved the university for operation in 2011, and when the Western Senior College and University Commission(WSCUC) granted accreditation in 2016, authority to issue degrees shifted to WSCUC purview. USK takes pride in being among the youngest institutions within the WSCUC portfolio of accredited colleges and universities.
