Westwood College

Earn your degree in as little as 17 months.

BACKGROUND
Westwood College is ideal for any student interested in pursing an Associates or Bachelors degree outside the confines of a traditional four-year university. Westwood College offers accelerated career-based Associates and Bachelors degree programs from a campus-based facility, through online courses, or a combination of the two.

Unlike a four-year college or university, general studies are not usually part of the prerequisites, unless they are pertinent to the career specialty a student is studying. Thus, a degree that might normally require four years of schooling, can easily be accomplished in as little as three years.
