Tim Gramling Named Executive Director of West Coast University-Los Angeles

West Coast University is excited to announce the arrival of Tim Gramling, LP.D, the new executive director of the Los Angeles campus. Dr. Gramling has served in higher education for more than 10 years, and brings a deep breadth of campus leadership experience operations to his role.

“What really drew me to West Coast University are the foundational principles of student service, regulatory compliance, ethical management and integrity,” Dr. Gramling said.

A West Philadelphia native, Dr. Gramling comes to West Coast from the Brooks Institute in Ventura, Calif. where he served as president for nearly a year. Prior, he was president of several Colorado Technical University campus locations for five years. He also served at DeVry University for five years, where his last role was senior director of finance and administration for the Southeast region.

“Education is so important because it’s about the trajectory of people’s lives and it changes what you can accomplish,” Dr. Gramling added. “The notion of self-discipline and applying yourself to a task is central to education and it’s what changes people for the better.”

Welcome to the West Coast University team, Dr. Gramling!
