My PennWest

Online education designed to get you ahead.

How I Did It

Building. Academic. Muscle.

Understanding how our learners learn was essential to me. The Doctorate in Health Science program allowed me to research and practice those skills so that I could be better in my own career, while helping those in the health and fitness industry improve theirs through online learning. "
Dr. Jacque Crockford, Health Science

Expanding Resources

I love the incorporation of all three campuses and Global Online into one with the additional resources it provides. PennWest is affordable, provides unique opportunities and you feel a sense of community with the professors and the students."
Michael McGurk, Counseling

Investing In Yourself

My education helped me figure out who I was. It helped focus me, and if I find myself in a situation, I know I can reach out and get the help I need. "
Ryan Spencer, Criminal Justice
