The mission of the College of Business and Technology at Western Illinois University is to provide a focus for educational excellence which promotes the intellectual and personal growth of participants and enhances their contributions to individuals, organizations, and society. The essence of educational excellence involves a qualified and scholarly faculty, a diverse student body, small class sizes, the use of current technology, the best aspects of a small college atmosphere, and a positive learning environment. Intellectual and personal growth includes cultivating scholarly virtues in ourselves and our students, promoting the concept of life-long learning for everyone, encouraging faculty development, and generating and sharing information and knowledge.
Participants are students, faculty, graduates, and all others involved in the educational process.
Everyone is an active learner and teacher through shared responsibility, collaboration, and mutual respect. We contribute to the success of future and current leaders, managers, and professionals in the global community. Dean's Office Staff M. David Beveridge Dean of the College Dean Dr. M.
