Western Illinois University
Western is the perfect size university, with physical resources such as crime labs, nursing simulation areas, an Emergency Operations Center, and performance spaces that will be enhanced by our new $120 million Center for the Performing Arts.
And we are small enough to provide a personalized education, where professors know your name and making friends is easy. WIU focuses on student learning to prepare students for careers or graduate school study. Students learn in small classes with faculty whose primary purpose is to teach. Faculty also do research and undergraduate students have access to professors in support of their research. Scholarships, an Honors College and undergraduate research opportunities make Western a superb option for high-achieving students looking for their new college home.
Students receive practical education through internships, hands-on work with faculty and excellent career preparation services.
