Welcome to Western International University

W estern International University is a private university with some very unique characteristics. We strive to have a diverse, multi-cultural student population. A significant portion of our students come from more than 40 different countries. Many of these students attend WIU to learn English as a Second Language (ESL) prior to their coursework in our degree programs. They recognize that, throughout the world, an accredited American undergraduate or graduate degree is a valuable commodity. Services are provided to support these students while they learn English and become acclimated to our environment. The majority of our students are working adults who thrive on the flexibility and convenience of our course schedules. Courses are available during the evenings and on weekends, so that students may continue to work and raise their families while completing their degree programs. Our two month sessions allow students to accelerate their programs to the extent that they are capable of handling their own workload. Our faculty are experienced practitioners who hold advanced degrees in their teaching fields and are also highly successful practitioners in their areas of expertise. While our course schedules may be “non-traditional” in form, our educational model and teaching style are traditional. 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 WU 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. What better preparation is there for building a career in a world that is becoming more “connected” through advanced communications and where businesses increasingly cross national and international boundaries? On September 1, 1995, Western International University became a part of the Apollo Group, the leading educational corporation in the United States. The change in status from a non-profit to a for-profit institution had a significant impact on the University. In addition to ensuring our institution’s financial stability and providing funding for improvement of services and expansion, Apollo’s long term commitment to customer service and total quality management in higher education insures that our students and faculty will have rewarding and exciting experiences at our institution.
