Watterson College

Watterson College was a private, for profit two-year vocational/technical school that operated in Los Angeles, California from 1915-1995.

It offered classes and training in various entry-level professions such as business, computers, word processing, medical assisting, retailing, and paralegal services. Watterson College had various satellite campuses in small cities near the Los Angeles, California area. Although the direct connection cannot be established at this time, there were also Watterson College schools in other cities across the US, like Louisville KY. Its main office was located at the Pasadena, California campus, and major campuses included Van Nuys, California, West Covina and Oxnard. It participated in the California Pell Grant program. During the early 1990s Watterson College began struggling to meet admissions goals, due to increased competition by public institutions, leading to the final closing of all campuses by 1995.
