Three unique programs, one common goal: Student Success!

The Lee Honors College at Western Michigan University, created more than three decades ago for academically talented students, has become an integral part of the WMU community.

The Division of Multicultural Affairs (DMA) serves as an information resource on the role and value of diversity in education for WMU, and for the greater Kalamazoo communities.

Studying tropical biology in Belize, Arabic in Alexandria, health care in Ireland, engineering in China or political science in Cape Town are a few of the study abroad options students can learn about at Western Michigan University’s Haenicke Institute for Global Education.

The Western Edge is a strategic plan for promoting student success and keeping the quality of education offered by WMU affordable.
