Recruitment

Recruiting students is a joint effort among the faculty leaders, the academic departments and colleges, and the Office of Study Abroad & Global Learning.

WKU faculty members have a wide sphere of influence and can generate a lot of interest in your programs. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm can spread among other students, working to your advantage.
