The WIU teaching and learning model is unique, combining both the traditional and non-traditional approaches that best serve our Indian population. Each session is 9 weeks in length.

The WIU faculty are also a blend of traditionally and non-traditionally prepared educators (holding Master's degree or higher) and working professionals; many with international experience. They bring both theoretical and practical knowledge and skill to their teaching and are able to facilitate student collaboration to maximize teaching and learning.

Teaching approaches vary to accommodate a variety of learning methods including lectures, discussion, in-class small group activities, case studies, projects, student presentations and application of concepts and theory to real-world situations. Students are encouraged to target their assignments to issues and projects directly related to their work.

To prepare students for successful employment and advancement in the business world, WIU also incorporates global, multicultural and international perspectives in its curriculum and emphasizes communication (both written and oral), critical thinking and computer skill development.

Academic standards remain rigorous and require that students come to WIU prepared for university level work or seek the preparation they need, either before they begin their coursework or during their initial enrollment period. Learning is a social and often a sequential experience. Therefore, it is critical that students enroll with the commitment to attend and actively participate in all classes and activites. It is important to attend classes in the recommended order as detailed in the program descriptions. All course prerequisites must be met prior to enrolling in the courses.
