Foremost, I do recommend this university and IBusiness - Management and Administration
Foremost, I do recommend this university and I graduated with honors and I am in my Masters program too. However, I ask you the reader to really evaluate your work ethic and academic capability before jumping into West. My recommendation to anyone considering this university or another is to complete a couple tasks.

First - Create a questionnaire with repeatable questions so you personally can adequately compare universities.

Q1) What community college classes transfer to ?University?. I started in Illinois at a community college and all my general education classes transferred and I took my language at MCC. Ask, Eng 101, 102, Math, etc.

Q2) What is your per credit hour for Eng 101, 102, Math, etc. As a future student you must take these.

Second ? compare the cost for general education classes at your community college versus ?University?. If you're not the best academic student, wouldn't you rather take some general education classes at a lower cost than higher?if they transfer?

If you're going from H.S. get your AA and then a BA or BS from West.
Ask your employer if they offer tuition reimbursement.
Manage your time. These are accelerated classes and if you are not ready, you will be challenged! Do not let the accelerated time be your decision for West.

Question
I have to say, I love WIU.Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I have to say, I love WIU. I am busy and work full time, but the flexible schedule and online format make it possible for me to work on getting my degree. I have found the advisors to be very helpful and available any time I need them. The classes are only 8 weeks long, only meet one night a week, and best of all...NO LEARNING TEAMS! I earn credits based on my own work, not someone else's. I would definitely recommend this school.

I have only been attending WIU for 3 months now, but so far I love it. I never have trouble getting in touch with any financial or academic advisors. They are very friendly.
