educational opportunities to individuals in west central Illinois and

well beyond our region and state. WIU\'s traditional residential campus

in Macomb, Illinois, is the educational, cultural and athletic center of

the region, while the WIU-Quad Cities non-residential branch campus in

Moline, Illinois, is the only public university in the immediate Quad

Cities region.

comprehensive slate of undergraduate and graduate programs, including a

doctorate in education, and post-baccalaureate certificates. A diverse

community in west central Illinois, Macomb features a unique blend of

serves as the county seat, with connections across the state with Amtrak

providing twice-daily service from Macomb to Chicago (and point in
