• Our courses are taught by faculty members, not graduate students.
• Our institution has an active faculty advisor program and an active career advising/career development program.
• The comprehensive university environment of WIU provides a curriculum which includes a variety of courses that provide a strong background in the natural and social sciences, humanities, and writing, while still allowing students to pursue their individual interests.
• We have libraries with Internet access to biology journals, and easily accessible computer labs for student use.
