WesternU is one of the largest graduate schools for the health professions in the West Coast. Alumni rank among the top leaders in health care and medicine throughout the country and the world.
The University is home to more than 3,600 students in nine health sciences colleges and 28 graduate programs, across two campuses. The original campus in Pomona, CA and encompassing 22 acres, has helped transform downtown Pomona into a thriving mix of retail, commercial and educational enterprises. In 2011, Western U expanded the College of Osteopathic Medicine to Lebanon, OR and in 2021, Doctor of Physical Therapy was added to the Northwest campus. The influx of students, faculty, campus events, clinics, and construction has spurred housing demand, local services, and small businesses, contributing to downtown revitalization.
