ËÄÉ«AVcare education at its finest
ËÄÉ«AV was started by healthcare professionals and educators, and nearly 25 years later, is one of just a few purely graduate-focused, not-for-profit ËÄÉ«AV Sciences Institutions. We uniquely prepare students using our ËÄÉ«AV University Six-Point Mastery Learning Model®, preparing them to not only be competent, confident, compassionate healthcare providers but to meet and exceed today’s career demands. Our students’ on-time graduation rates and high board passing rates allow them to transition to their careers quickly and successfully. ËÄÉ«AV has set the standard for ËÄÉ«AV Sciences education since its inception and continues to provide our communities with highly qualified, compassionate healthcare professionals.
Multiple programs across Utah and Nevada, multiple modalities
ËÄÉ«AV University was also the first College of Pharmacy in the State of Nevada, and today continues to be the only College of Pharmacy in the State. We offer multiple healthcare programs in Pharmacy, Nursing, and ËÄÉ«AV Medicine as well as two Master’s Degree Programs on our campuses in Henderson, Nevada, and South Jordan, Utah, and offer our students the opportunity to learn on campus or online.
