OOM

At UWS, students are a part of a community that cares about the same things. Surrounded by the beauty and energy of the Pacific Northwest, you’ll do more than study what it means to achieve— you’ll live it. From triathlons to farmers markets to the wilderness of Mt. Hood or sands of the Pacific coast, you’ll live a full life alongside peers who are just as fun to hike with as they are to collaborate with as study or lab partners. Above all, you’ll gain confidence and expertise while learning from practicing chiropractic physicians who are the best in their field. You will have the opportunity to connect with alumni who are making a difference in the community.

Students thrive at UWS because the concept of whole-person care is more than an idea—it is what they experience for themselves.

As a student, I gained so much from participating in the Student American Chiropractic Association (SACA). I was president of our campus chapter, and then was invited to serve on the national SACA team and travel to Washington, D.C. My network expanded so much, and I was even awarded a scholarship through those connections.

UWS gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, to intern and later work for a chiropractor who owns an incredible sports medicine clinic with his wife and who is also the team chiropractor of the Portland Timbers and Thorns. UWS shaped my life and career in such profound ways.”
