Undergraduate Majors, Minors & Programs of Study
Teaching and learning – and the active involvement between the two – are central to Western’s history and tradition of academic excellence.
At Western, students have the advantage of learning from full-time faculty, who teach 95 percent of the classes. Most students say their professors are more than just teachers; they’re mentors.
Make the most of your academic talents through individualized research, internships, and international travel. Be sure to check with your adviser about all of your academic options.
All undergraduate majors have Honors College options available. Contact the Illinois Centennial Honors College for details.
