Getting Started – Western International University

In Our Students' Words…

Guy Ruiz
BS in Business with a Minor in Management, 2002, Surprise, AZ

"I chose WIU because I liked the fact that they were more individual, with no study groups. I wanted to be evaluated on my own merit, not allow others the chance to affect my grade. Besides, going back to school was going to be hard enough without having to meet a second night each week with a learning team. The pace is better, too. Classes meet for 9 weeks, not 5 or 16. It gives me enough time to comprehend what I am doing without wasting time. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to get my degree. I'd probably be earning a lot more now if I would have started sooner."
