Mission
Western International University provides a broad educational foundation, including a focus on business and technology, designed to prepare students for leadership positions in a dynamic, global marketplace.
History
Western International University was founded in 1978 in Phoenix, Arizona as a non-profit institution and was accredited by The Higher Learning Commission in 1984. On September 1, 1995, WIU became part of Apollo Group, Inc., one of the leading educational corporations in the United States.
The majority of our students are working adults who thrive on the flexibility and convenience of our course schedules and locations. Our students have the opportunity to demonstrate their individual achievements through measures such as quizzes, tests, papers, projects, and presentations, rather than study groups or learning teams.
