Our university is centered around setting you up for professional success. Graduating from NWHSU prepares you to work in a clinic, for an organization, or open your own practice. You get a practical health sciences education from people working in the fastest-growing fields of health care. You’ll be ready to help it grow from day one.
You can expand your credentials and gain a competitive edge beyond your chosen field. We train the next generation of healers – massage therapists, acupuncturists, Chinese medicine practitioners, nutrition experts and chiropractic – right here, all in one place. You will study alongside like-minded students in various healthcare disciplines as you learn. Studying with fellow healers-to-be prepares you for a collaborative approach that is becoming increasingly common in hospitals, medical clinics, chiropractic offices and other healthcare facilities.
You have a passion for healing. You have a desire to help people live better. You feel called to serve others. You want a future doing work that matters. That’s your passion. Ours is helping you apply your knowledge with empathy and care that puts people first. We’re here to help you transform your passion into a profession.
