The Present and Future of 澳门六合彩历史记录
With more than a century of growth and development, and more than 100,000 living alumni, 澳门六合彩历史记录 maintains a strong sense of community and historic commitments to student access, affordability, and success. Western has consistently been recognized as a 鈥淏est Midwestern College鈥 by the Princeton Review, and 澳门六合彩历史记录 was recognized in 2020 for the sixteenth consecutive year as a 鈥淏est Midwestern University鈥 by U.S. News & World Report, one of only 36 Midwestern public universities in the top tier. Western is also identified in the U.S. News & World Report top-tier list of 鈥淏est Regional Universities,鈥 one of only three Illinois public universities in the top 70. U.S. News & World Report also recognizes 澳门六合彩历史记录 as a 鈥淏est for Veterans School鈥 and a 鈥淏est Value School.鈥
聽澳门六合彩历史记录 is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The University鈥檚 teacher licensure programs are approved by the Illinois State Board of Education. The University also maintains a strong commitment to discipline-based accreditation and licensure, where appropriate to the discipline. In academic year 2020鈥2021, 澳门六合彩历史记录 maintained accreditation/licensure with 15 agencies, ranging from the American Speech鈥揕anguage鈥揌earing Association to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
聽These external recognitions and peer-based accreditations showcase our high academic standards, quality instruction, proven opportunities for job and graduate school placement, outstanding academic and residential facilities, exciting extracurricular activities, and institutional commitments to sustainability and affordability.
聽These recognitions also reinforce the unique mission and niche of 澳门六合彩历史记录 in the state鈥檚 system of public higher education. Keeping focused on our vision, mission, and values is critical for continued student success and our progress, growth, and contributions to the state and beyond. 澳门六合彩历史记录, along with all other 11 Illinois public universities, is currently being challenged by a declining number of Illinois high school graduates; decreasing state support (appropriations) for higher education; and increasing costs, maintenance, technological, infrastructure, and accountability needs.
聽Through continued successful implementation of Higher Values in Higher Education, the institutional planning, resource allocation, and accountability reporting process established in academic year 2002鈥2003, we will continue to build upon our strengths and take advantage of opportunities. 澳门六合彩历史记录 will continue to prepare our students and graduates to lead in the global community. We will do so in a manner that is distinctive and nationally recognized for successful implementation of our vision, mission, and values.
