Welcome Welcome to Western International University estern International University is a private university with some very unique characteristics. The majority of our students are Wworking adults who thrive on the strength of our educational programs while appreciating the flexibility and convenience of our course schedules and services. Courses are available during the evenings and on weekends, allowing students to 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 workloads. The university has developed excellent relationships with local employers, providing opportunities for their employees to attend WIU courses at a number of corporate and munici- pal sites across the region. 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. Many of these students attend the university to learn English through our English as a Second Language (ESL) program prior to starting their coursework in degree programs. 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 successfull practitioners in their areas of expertise. While our course schedules may be “non-traditional” in form, our educational model and teaching style can be considered more “traditional”. Faculty share their knowledge through lectures, presentations and class discus- sions. 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 cur- riculum in all degree programs. Many of our faculty have international business experience. The international flavor of our student body pro- vides 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? Western International University is part of the Apollo Group, the lead- ing educational corporation in the United States. Apollo’s long term commitment to customer service and total quality management in higher education ensures that our students and faculty will have rewarding and exciting experiences at our institution Michael J.
