The report supports the WIU Strategic Plan: Higher Values in Higher Education and serves as the framework for Academic Affairs to establish priorities in instruction, research, and public service.

The 450 faculty members within the division's 4 colleges and 28 departments and schools provide instruction for approximately 7,100 students. Programming includes 61 bachelor's degrees, 38 master's degrees, 2 specialist's degrees, and 2 doctoral degrees.
