The University of Western States (UWS) offers evidence-informed curricula,
integrated programs, and world-class
research opportunities placing us at the forefront
of health sciences education and ensuring that your course of study at UWS
will position you as a leader in your profession. Through experience in the
classroom, clinics, and laboratory, as well as
through
public outreach
opportunities, UWS’ students graduate with a competitive edge. The time
spent here will be stimulating and framed by a solid network of support that
ensures you will meet the academic and professional challenges you face
while achieving a work-life balance. Small class sizes and low
student-to-faculty ratios create an environment that is encouraging and
supportive. Our philosophy has always been to provide a hands-on education
to prepare our students for hands-on careers. What you can expect from UWS
is simple: a superior education, a supportive environment, and a
well-rounded knowledge base that will put you on the right track toward a
fulfilling career.
Don't take our word for it. Step onto our
campus and see for yourself why UWS is the leader in integrated health care
education. Then decide if you want to be another one of our success stories.
Visitors to UWS aren't only greeted by mountain views. We'll provide you
with an opportunity to speak to faculty, staff, and current students as part
of your visit to our quiet, 22-acre campus located in northeast
Portland. Our volunteer Student
Ambassadors are happy to tour you around campus, giving you the information
from a student's perspective on life at UWS. Ask as many questions as you
like - our Ambassadors don't get paid and aren't sales people.
We're open for visits year-round
except during finals week or holidays - bring a friend or family member if
you like. Campus visits usually take place every Monday and Friday.
Schedule your personal tour.
