WIU-QC helped me obtain substantial knowledge in neurological studies, behavioral psychology and multiple critical thinking and unique problem solving techniques to utilize throughout life.

I never would have majored in English without the encouragement of the incredible professors at WIU-QC. They saw my potential long before I did. When they convinced me to switch my major to English, I began to challenge myself in my writing. I gained confidence with every obstacle. Now, as I’m about to graduate, I’m comfortable with who I am, and the two English internships taken this semester led to a full-time communications position where I’ll be advocating locally for refugees and immigrants. My chosen career field embodies my passions – something I proudly attribute to WIU-QC’s English program.

The English program at WIU-QC provides the space for students to dive into the meaning of “things.” All of the skills that are learned are transferable to the working world. Earning my bachelor’s degree in English has prepared me to face the world with critical thinking skills and open-mindedness. Plus, the professors do everything in their power to provide hands-on experience whenever they can.

I wanted to pursue my master’s degree in school counseling somewhere with an accredited school counseling program and WIU was the perfect choice. The class schedule worked well around my crazy work schedule, and it was fairly close to home.
