Your Interview
IMPORTANT ACCREDITATION INFORMATION
It’s critical for applicants to be aware that our accreditor, ARC-PA, has changed the program’s accreditation status from “continuing” to “probation” and, as a condition of this action, it’s possible that ARC-PA may restrict our ability to matriculate a new class into our program in Fall 2024.
Although we are currently accepting applications for the Fall 2024 class in MSPAS, we are not yet certain that ARC-PA will authorize our program to seat a class in Fall 2024. We are working diligently with ARC-PA to upgrade our accreditation status in order to make this possible. Please review our MSPAS Accreditation Information for further details regarding how this may impact you as an applicant.

About the Interview & Interviewers
To help ease the stress of the interview, we want to give you a brief overview of what to expect for the day. You’ll first be greeted online by the Admissions team who will make sure everything is working properly.
Interviews at WesternU 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.
When you scheduled your interview, you should have uploaded a copy of your photo ID and confidentiality agreement. If not, please be sure to upload the documents to your Application Status Page prior to checking in as this will be required in order to proceed with your interview.
Proper identification of individuals allows WesternU 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.
Acceptable forms of identification and the University’s Identity Verification policy.
