Admissions Information

WesternU

As you explore Western University of Health Sciences, each path, each person, each structure comes with a transformative story. WesternU is more than the practice of medicine. We are defined by character and culture. You will discover humanism at the heart of every interaction: a warm welcome, a sincere smile, a positive word, a kind deed, a thoughtful gesture. We display a collaborative mindset in how we operate, educate, and serve others.

The culture of WesternU is about being and becoming – to help people discover who they are and who they can become.
