West Coast Up Close

West Coast Up Close is an opportunity for those who are considering college options (students, recent high school graduates, parents, etc.) to experience all that WCBC offers. Through this event, you’ll participate in the day-to-day academic, spiritual, and social aspects of campus life.

Whether you’ve visited the WCBC campus before or have never been to California, you’ll find that West Coast Up Close is a highly concentrated, personal opportunity to see what WCBC life is really like.
