Founded in 1903, Western Michigan University is the fourth largest state University in the state of Michigan. The University is recognized as a graduate intensive research oriented University. It offers Bachelor degrees in over 150 areas, Masters and Doctoral level programmes with 86 subjects. Today more than 27,000 students are on rolls and over 1,600 of them are international students.

At Western Michigan University, a student must become proficient in a specific academic discipline as well as gain academic breadth through the general education programme. To accomplish this, students must select a Major such as Marketing, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering etc. Students then fulfill the balance of their academic requirements by taking courses outside of their Major. These courses will include selections from Humanities, Fine Arts, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Western and Non-Western cultures, Health and Well being
 
WMU Educational goals - to provide structure and encouragement for students to :
 
  • Think objectively and critically
  • Assess the validity of information
  • Communicate clearly and effectively

The Twinning Program
 
Twinning is a new concept under which a student can study 2 years in Chennai, India and 2 years in USA to acquire a degree from Western Michigan University, thereby reducing the expenditure substantially. At the same time the student can get exposed to the best of Indian and US education.
 
Advantages of Twinning:
 

Globalization of economies of different countries has led to real competitiveness and only the fittest will survive. The future youth must equip themselves with the knowledge of global markets, latest technologies and different business concepts so that they can work anywhere in the world. With the advent of multinational companies entering the production and marketing of their various products, the requirements of quality education of international standards has become a must. The future scientific, technological and managerial manpower should be of high international standards.

 

The Twinning Program gives an opportunity for the students to obtain the standard through their interaction with the environments of different continents. To have this opportunity, a student must be able to afford the huge expenditure on overseas studies. The twinning program reduces this expenditure considerably.

Hostels

CLASS HOURS AND CREDIT HOURS:
 

Each course is assigned a number of units of academic credit called credit hours which is based upon the number of clock hours that the course meets per week for the duration of the semester. Normally one credit hour is equivalent to one clock hour of lecture / discussion per week for the duration of the semester. Thus a three credit hour course would meet for three clock hours per week for the entire semester (for a total of 45 hours), a four credit hour course would meet for four hours per week for the entire semester (for a total of 60 hours). A laboratory class meeting for either two or three clock hours per week for the entire semester is the equivalent of one credit hour.

 
GRADING SYSTEM AND SCALE
 

Students earn grades in a course through the use of variety of internal evaluation tools including assignments, quizzes and exams throughout the semester, as well as the final Exam. Using their percentage scale, letter grades are assigned to different percentage levels as included below. Each letter grade is assigned a number of honor points, which are used in calculating grade points average.

 
Computing the grade point average (GPA): A student GPA is computed by Multiplying the number of semester credit hour for a course by the number of hour point corresponding to the letter grade achieved in the course. The total number of credit hours taken in the semester to derive the GPA then divides the total number of earned points.
 
CUMULATIVE OVERALL GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA): The CGPA is calculated by adding the total number of earning points (honor points time credit hour) for all semesters and dividing by the total number of credit hours for all semesters.
 
This program was started in August 1999. The first batch students left for USA in August 1999 and they have already completed their 3rd year at WMU.
