In Our Students' Words
"I chose WIU because it offers a degree in Behavioral Science. It’s the perfect stepping stone for my ultimate career in forensic psychology. I took classes both on campus at WIU and online with WIU Interactive Online. I really enjoyed a class with great field trips where we integrated classroom learning with real life experience. I appreciate the adult atmosphere and the small classes. You tend to go through the classes with the same people and get to know them well. So you enjoy graduating with them and staying in touch in your careers. The BEH program is so versatile. I’m able to use it in any career path I decide to follow."

"I attended another university with study groups, and I don’t care for groups. I selected WIU for my graduate program because of individually focused learning, night classes, the course length, and adult learning. All the professors and instructors have global experience in the subject they are teaching, instead of teaching out of a textbook. They are all very resourceful and offer great advice. I also like the professional level of other students and have learned a lot by crossing over with students from other countries. I use information from my classes every day at work. I expect to receive a promotion, and my thesis is preparing me with communication tools to advance. I expect my MBA to help me achieve my financial goals that will move me forward in management."

"Since my major was business, WIU's international base of students provided exposure to business characteristics I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn about otherwise. And their faculty was outstanding. The instructors were more than teachers—they became mentors. They were always available to me. And they challenged me to do—and be—my best."
