Academic Excellence in Health Care Education
West Coast University takes pride in giving students a high quality education with rigorous academic curricula that are designed to help them achieve their career goals and scheduled in a manner to facilitate efficient program completion. We partner with students in their professional preparation, both during and after completion of their academic programs.
"I chose WCU because of the speed and convenience of being done within a set time and I didn’t want to get caught up or lost in the whole lottery system of community college or trying to get into a 4 year university to take nursing." - Justin Woods
What makes West Coast University programs unique?
- A year-round semester system and rolling admissions process allows students to begin either undergraduate or graduate programs at multiple junctures throughout the year.
- All curricula are structured toward a specific end date, so that as long as students adhere to their course schedules, they may have confidence about when they will complete their programs.
- Once students are accepted into a program, they are guaranteed a reserved seat, and as long as they stay on track, there’s no having to wait for space to open up in required courses.
- There is no need for students to re-apply for a professional program after finishing general education courses.
- Students receive simulated and real-world experience, under the careful supervision of faculty, most of whom are licensed health care professionals.
- Much of WCU’s coursework blends on-campus and online learning experiences.
Modern Campuses and Facilities
We’ve built and equipped advanced facilities at three beautiful Southern California campuses in Los Angeles, Orange County and Ontario. Laboratories are appointed with advanced medical training equipment, and designed for a hands-on, practical education. Between laboratories, community-based and onsite clinical opportunities, students receive simulated and real-world experience, under the careful guidance of the faculty. Many classrooms are equipped with multiple computers and wireless connectivity. At the Orange County campus, the new simulation center and dental hygiene labs provide students with access to the latest nursing and dental hygiene-training equipment. Life-like, high-fidelity mannequins replicate real world scenarios to enhance student critical-thinking development in the Simulation Center.
