How is West Coast's pharmacy program overall?

Their board exam pass rates and job placement rates are abysmal.

West Coast's pharmacy school is one of the worst in the country. Out of 132 fully accredited schools in the US, it has the second the lowest NAPLEX pass rate (only higher than Saint Joseph in CT). It has the 5th lowest residency match rate (only higher than California Northstate University, University of Puerto Rico, South College, and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy). It has one of the highest reported unemployment rate among graduates that I've seen at 62% (Program Statistical Data - Doctor of Pharmacy | WCU). If your goal is to go to the absolute worst accredited pharmacy school in California, this is it.
