About West Coast University

Set in Doral's mix of palm-lined streets and busy workplaces, West Coast University's Miami campus is known for health sciences and patient-care fields. The vibe is focused yet friendly. Labs and classrooms are built for hands-on work, with simulation spaces that feel close to the real thing. Students tap tutoring, advising, test prep, and quiet study spots. And collaboration comes naturally.

Student life leans into study clubs, peer mentoring, volunteer projects, and wellness events, with easy access to parks, gyms, and Miami's food and arts. Career prep shows up early through resume help, mock interviews, and links to clinical practice in the region. The local scene offers bilingual settings and varied patient experience. A hallmark here is the steady path from lab to real care, marked by low-key milestones that keep everyone moving forward.
