Our long-established strong priority of student learning and development makes WOU a great choice for every student wanting to be challenged and supported in their academic development as a person who is afforded the respect of being known by their name, not an identification number or as just another student.
For students transferring to WOU a number of customized services and support mechanisms have been developed to facilitate a successful transition to our university. These complement our small classes, innovative services, and continual focus upon student success.
