Youth Programs: A History of High Quality Academic Enrichment

WIU offers hands-on learning opportunities for primary through secondary students interested in art, math, film, and various other areas. 

For over 30 years, Non-Credit Programs has provided innovative academic programs for youth in an on-campus residential setting during the summer. All programs are instructed by Western Illinois University faculty and other professionals who share a commitment to helping each student to further his or her potential. During their stay at Western, students also enjoy a program of safe and fun recreational activities and are supervised by a staff of carefully-selected resident counselors.
