Welcome to Western Illinois University-Quad Cities

Western is nationally recognized for providing outstanding academic experiences, and our commitment is consistently recognized. US News and World Report, Center for Student Opportunity, Princeton Review, Kiplinger’s Magazine, and Washington Monthly, to name just a few, rank us among the top tier of best regional universities. G.I. Jobs Magazine also designates Western as a Military Friendly institution.

WIU-Quad Cities offers more than 30 programs of study, 19 student organizations, and serves as the home to WQPT-Quad Cities Public Television. Over 95% of Western classes are taught by full-time faculty and students receive personal attention with a student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1. WIU-Quad Cities offers an impressive array of day, evening, weekend, and online classes and support services to best serve student needs.

The WIU Cost Guarantee assures that undergraduate and graduate students pay the same tuition and fee rate for four years. WIU is committed to affordability. Over 75% of Western students receive financial assistance and/or scholarships.

WIU celebrates our newest addition. The Western Illinois University-Quad Cities Riverfront Campus opened for classes in January 2012. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, and similar to our 60th Street location in Moline, Illinois, the new campus features state-of-the-art technology, teaching and learning environments. We are also finalizing design for Phase II on the Riverfront Campus, that will support five interconnected buildings. Construction is anticipated to begin by fall 2012.

We take great pride in our University and are excited that you are exploring THE public choice.

Sincerely,

Dr. Joseph A. Rives, Vice President for the Quad Cities, Planning and Technology
