The professors at WIU were amazing and understanding if things came up. I wish I would have gone back to school sooner!" - Kristi Geisler, 2020 graduate of the 特殊教育 program

Western Illinois online provided just what I needed to fit my busy schedule.The professors are extremely knowledgeable in the area of special education and assisted my in learning new techniques and skills." - Gena Hasten, 2020 graduate of the 特殊教育 program
