Scholarships, an Honors College and undergraduate research opportunities make Western a superb option for high-achieving students looking for their new college home. WIU offers an outstanding variety of in-demand undergraduate and graduate programs, integrated programs, pre-professional programs, and certificate programs. Students receive practical education through internships, hands-on work with faculty and excellent career preparation services.
