We strive to have a diverse, multi-cultural student population. Significant portions of our students have come to WIU from more than 40 different countries. They recognize that, throughout the world, an accredited American degree is a valuable commodity. Services are provided to support these students while they learn English and become acclimated to our environment and culture. WIU faculty hold advanced degrees in their teaching fields and are also highly successful practitioners in their areas of expertise.
Faculty share their knowledge through lectures, presentations and class discussions.
Students have the opportunity to demonstrate their achievements through individual quizzes, tests, papers, projects and presentations. Global and technology issues are key themes throughout the WIU curriculum in all degree programs. Many of our faculty have international business experience. The international flavor of our student body provides ample opportunity to identify with and observe many cultures. Western International University is part of the Apollo Group, the leading educational corporation in the United States.
