Working together to enrich communities and transform the lives of students.
Six Universities. One System.
University of Western States is a proud member of The Community Solution Education System, an integrated nonprofit system of six colleges and universities working together to advance student success and community impact.
We believe that focusing on cooperation instead of competition drives innovation and enhances the student experience. Through strategic partnerships, shared resources, and a collaborative culture, we reach across institutional borders to create real, positive outcomes for our students.
Each of our unique institutions answers the call of a rapidly changing world by offering innovative educational experiences in critical fields such as education, medicine, psychology, law, business, social work, chiropractic, and more.

Partnering for Growth
UWS joined The Community Solution Education System in 2023, understanding the power of universities coming together to create innovative solutions to common challenges and improve student outcomes. With support from The Community Solution, UWS has launched a Community-Based Clinical Education program, offering increased flexibility for students to earn clinical hours in their home communities. Students also benefit from expanded administrative support, giving them the resources they need to be successful.
