The combination of a quality student body and robust academic programs produces outstanding results. This year, WCU students achieved a Q2 pass rate of 92.5% on the NCLEX exam. Our National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE) pass rate for first time-test takers was 94.4%. As we continue to grow as a university, so does our reach in the medical community. In 2010, West Coast University was the largest educator of registered nurses in the state of California, cumulatively graduating 584 RNs. Additionally, we have extended our course offerings to Master's programs in Nursing and Health Care Management. WCU offers one of only four Bachelor of Science Degrees in Dental Hygiene in all of California.
