A Campus Built for You

Located in Anaheim, our Orange County campus combines retro and modern design elements to create an aesthetically pleasing campus where students and faculty can feel at home. West Coast University lays the framework for a rewarding nursing school experience. Our nursing students can practice at the La Palma learning site where our simulation center is equipped with industry current technology and high-fidelity manikins.

Dental hygiene students will receive their own simulation lab equipped with enough units so each student will receive their own unit per class. Additionally, the campus is home to WCU’s no-cost dental hygiene clinic, which allows students to get first-hand experience while helping provide services to patients who might otherwise not have access to dental care.

Our Orange County campus offers easy access to various Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus services.
