Armstrong College (California)

Armstrong College, originally the California School for Private Secretaries, was a college in Berkeley, California for 70 years. Walter Ratcliff was an architect for its school buildings.[1] The school building at 2210 Harold Way is listed as City of Berkeley Landmark.[2]

The college was founded in 1918 by J. Evan Armstrong of the University of California[3][4] and Armstrong served as the school's president.[2] The name was changed in 1923[2] to Armstrong College.

For about 10 years it served as a training facility for the University of California and was then acquired by the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center in 2009 and renamed Dharma College.[2]

A plaque commemorates the school's history.[2]

Alumni include Jovy Marcelo and Annie Wu (businesswoman).
