Your Interview
Admissions for Fall 2025
We are pleased that ARC-PA has allowed us to matriculate a Fall 2024 cohort while we remain on an Accreditation-Probation status. Our accreditor will be conducting a focused probation site visit in advance of March 2025 and will subsequently issue a decision related to our Accreditation-Probation status. Probation is an active accreditation status and those entering a program that is on probation are entering a program that is accredited. We look forward to satisfying the standards of the accreditors during their visit before the March 2025 meeting.

About the Interview & Interviewers
To help ease the stress of the interview, we would like to give you a brief overview of what to expect for the day鈥痑nd specifically share with you the structure and composition of the interview team. You will hear from faculty and administration about the curriculum, admissions process, and student services. You will also have a Q&A with faculty.
The Interview
Interviews at SWAG视频 are meant to be an exchange of information in a warm and welcoming environment. It is an experience that is both positive and enjoyable for the student applicants. Our interviews are never meant to be threatening nor confrontational in any way. Applicants have been selected by the admissions committee because they exemplify those qualities that we feel are important in the health care professionals whom we educate.
You can expect to be interviewed by two teams of two, comprised of faculty, and/or administration. As stated above, the interview will serve as an opportunity for you to demonstrate qualities that could not be fully assessed by your application alone. The intent of the interviewers will be to determine your compatibility with our program. To learn more about our faculty please visit the鈥痗ollege鈥檚 faculty and staff page.
A photo ID will be required at the time you check in for your interview. Please report to the lobby of the Health Sciences Center (HSC), see link below to our online campus map. We encourage you to arrive to campus 15 minutes before your scheduled check-in time so that you have ample time to park and walk to the Health Sciences Center.
Proper identification of individuals allows SWAG视频 to provide a safe and secure campus environment. In addition, the United States Federal Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), Public Law 110-315, requires that University confirm that a person enrolling in the University is the person who is completing the enrollment form, and that the student taking an examination is the student who participates in, completes, and receives credit for the course.
It is the policy of Western University of Health Sciences that applicants to the University are required to provide a government issued ID when checking in for an Admissions interview. Applicants who are unable to provide an acceptable form of identification may reschedule their interview if space is available.
