Program Information Disclosure
July 1, 2009 -June30, 2010 Award Year
This is intended to provide information about West Coast University's programs, pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations related to programs that prepare students for gainful employment. West Coast University has three campus locations: Orange County, Los Angeles and Ontario, California and is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) and approved to operate in California by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). For those programs that also carry Programmatic Accreditation or Approval, the appropriate agency is listed with that program's information below.
DEFINITIONS
- On-time Completion Rate (as defined in 34 CFR 668.6 (c)). This number is based on the students who graduated during the award year, and did so within "normal time." Normal time is based on the published length of the program in the catalog. This rate is not reflective of the overall completion rate of the program. Normal time may be affected by scheduling changes, failed courses or extended clinical rotations.
- Program Cost is the current tuition and fees charged for the program. Also included are estimated costs for books, uniforms, equipment, and estimated book shipping costs. This is the estimated cost to complete the program.
- Placement Rate is based on the calculation required by WCU's accrediting body, ACICS. ACICS defines placement rates as the number of graduates who complete the program within 150% of scheduled time, during the reporting period, who were available for employment, and found a job in their field of training. ACICS requires reporting on a per campus basis.
- Median Loan Debt is the median debt incurred through Title IV HEA loans and other private financing sources by students who complete the program. West Coast University does not offer institutional financing or loans.
