August, 2009

On behalf of our faculty and staff, welcome to West Coast University.

Founded in 1909, our university is proud of its 100 year commitment to staying ahead of the curve.  As an academic community, we are even more proud of our many graduates who now have careers in nursing - and we look forward to serving future generations of students as we continue to grow.

Our mission at West Coast University is to provide an innovative and challenging learning environment that prepares students for today’s workplace needs. We strive to be an institutional leader in education for the best and brightest students from across the West and the entire nation. We celebrate our present accomplishments, which include our outstanding programs. Most recently our NCLEX pass rates have exceeded the state average. West Coast University also effectively plans for a changing professional landscape in the future and strives to meet the industry demands by listening to our nursing community and those who partner with them in health care.

As you discover all that West Coast University has to offer, I hope you’ll decide to join us on one of our beautiful campuses. We’ll be glad to give you a tour or answer any questions you may have.

Again, welcome to West Coast University.

Sincerely,

Barry T. Ryan, J.D., Ph.D.
President and CEO
