From The President
Welcome to West Coast University!
This is an exciting place to be, as you’ll soon learn as you get to know our students, alumni, associates and faculty. We are all partners in a life-changing process: the pursuit of higher education as a means to achieve professional success in health care fields.
We are justifiably proud of the accomplishments of our graduates, who are serving in a wide variety of professions across the state, the region, the nation and the world. Our faculty and associates are deeply-committed to an educational partnership with our students in the quest to fulfill their professional aspirations. Toward that end, West Coast University provides high quality learning opportunities, in a variety of modalities, both in the United States and abroad, blending the theoretical with real-world experience.
Our campuses are aesthetically-pleasing, our learning technology and simulation facilities are among the best to be found anywhere, our programs are innovative and academically-challenging, and our people superbly-qualified. That combination results in a unique professional education experience that is second to none.
The road you have set out upon is not an easy one, but the rewards for reaching the destination are incalculable.
Best wishes in your endeavors!
Regards,
Barry T. Ryan, J.D., Ph.D.
President and Chief Executive Officer, West Coast University
