- Mission
- Western Illinois University offers a caring, supportive learning environment with the advantages of a large public university - strong faculty, state of the art technology and facilities, and a wide range of academic and extra-curricular opportunities - in an atmosphere free from distractions. Western provides a low student-to-full-time faculty ratio (16:1) and an average class size of 25 students. Western ensures that education is affordable and attainable through its guarantee programs. Western's Cost Guarantee locks in the cost of tuition, room, board and fees for four years. Our GradTrac program guarantees students graduate in four years or less in most academic programs.
