I had great professors who genuinely wanted me to succeed. GWC gave me the tools I needed to graduate in Cosmetology, and inspired me to help others too.

Amanda, Cosmetology Program Graduate

Golden West is a genuine place, everyone feels like family here. The professors and counselors have been supportive too, they talk to you and help you with support and guidance.

James, Rustler Football Athlete and Psychology Major

GWC has a great nursing facility, with mannequins and various opportunities to perform simulations. The counseling services, financial assistance and additional scholarship options are also impressive.

When I first came to Golden West I was unsure of myself and a little overwhelmed. It has since become my second home.

Golden West provides so many opportunities for success, from access to professors and office hours, the free tutoring center and student services, and ways to get involved on campus.
