Welcome to Stanton University Athletics
Nestled in the heart of Southern California, just steps away from world-class entertainment and the magic of Disneyland, Stanton University stands as a growing force in both academics and athletics. With two campuses — the main campus in Anaheim and an additional location in Los Angeles — Stanton offers students a truly dynamic experience that combines career-driven education, cultural diversity, and the excitement of collegiate competition.
A Global University in the Heart of Southern California
Stanton University was founded on the mission of providing accessible, innovative, and globally minded education. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and master’s degree programs designed to prepare students for professional success in a rapidly changing world. Popular areas of study include Business Administration, Computer Science, Health Sciences, and Education, all taught by experienced faculty who bring real-world insight into the classroom.
The Anaheim campus, located near some of the region’s most recognizable landmarks — including Disneyland Resort, Angel Stadium, and the Anaheim Convention Center — provides students with a vibrant, inspiring setting for both academic and personal growth. The Los Angeles campus offers additional opportunities for students seeking the energy and creativity of one of the world’s most influential cities.
Stanton Athletics: The Rise of the Elks
In recent years, Stanton University has made significant strides in collegiate athletics. In Spring 2025, the Stanton Elks were officially voted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), marking a major milestone in the school’s history. The Elks now compete in the California Pacific Conference (Cal Pac), joining a respected league of institutions committed to athletic and academic excellence.
Stanton proudly fields men’s and women’s teams across soccer, tennis, basketball, volleyball, and cross country, offering student-athletes the chance to compete at a high level while pursuing their degrees. In their debut season, the men’s soccer team has already made an immediate impact, earning recognition within the Cal Pac for their skill, teamwork, and determination.
A Commitment to Growth and Excellence
As Stanton University continues to expand, its focus remains on cultivating well-rounded individuals — students who not only excel in their fields but also embody leadership, integrity, and a global mindset. With its blend of academic opportunity, athletic achievement, and Southern California charm, Stanton University is quickly becoming one of the most exciting emerging institutions in the NAIA landscape.
Whether in the classroom, on the field, or in the community, Stanton University is shaping tomorrow’s leaders — all within view of the fireworks over Disneyland.
