We are proud of Westervelt, with its long tradition of excellence in education over the past 116 years, and are glad to be a part of this continuing history. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of the benefits of a private education in general, and at Westervelt in particular. Students can Graduate in One Year or Less. Courses at Westervelt are compact, but have as many instructional hours as longer courses at other schools.
