WMU focuses on providing the tools students need to become successful alumni, and its top-notch programs, faculty and facilities have attracted national as well as international attention. Â• The Carnegie Foundation classifies WMU as one of the nation's 139 public research universities. Â• U.S. News & World Report names WMU among the top-100 public institutions in the nation and the top 30 in the Midwest. Â• WMU is just one of 97 public universities nationwide authorized to have its own chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. WMU was founded in 1903 and enrolls more than 24,000 students from across the United States and 84 other countries. Twenty percent of the student body is composed of graduate students, while minorities make up 11 percent and international students 4 percent. The University places equal emphasis on offering high-quality academic programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels through its seven degree-granting colleges: Arts and Sciences, Aviation, Education, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Fine Arts, Haworth College of Business, and Health and Human Services. Students may choose from 237 programs, including 140 bachelor's programs, 29 doctoral programs and 67 master's programs. A wide variety of these offerings have earned a national or international reputation, such as those in aviation, blindness and low vision studies, creative writing, engineering management, evaluation, jazz studies, and medieval studies. But despite its size and complexity, the University offers the personal attention and support crucial to helping students succeed. At WMU, students don't have to look far to find first-year mentoring programs, extensive career and employment services, or experienced advisors and tutors. More More
