Pacific Coast University (PCU), currently exclusively consisting of the '''Pacific Coast University School of Law''', is a private, non-profit Law School located in Long Beach, California . The school prides itself on its history of diversity and low cost legal education. Founded in 1927 , the PCU originally consisted of an undergraduate program along with graduate schools in business, divinity and law. However, all but the School of Law closed as a result of the Great Depression . World War II nearly eliminated the School of Law but for the persistance of then Dean Carl Manson , who taught all the classes while the other professors were off at war. Manson continued as Dean until his death in 1980 . In 1981 Dean Irv Schleimer , previously a member of the faculty, became the PCU's new head and guided the school into the 21st Century. PCU is listed with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar Of California as an unaccredited law school. As such, students must take and pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination , also known as the "Baby Bar", at the end of their first year in order to receive credit for their law study and eventually qualify to sit for the California Bar Exam .
