The Western Edge™

Reduce college cost, get a degree faster, land a job sooner

The Western Edge™ is a plan designed to put students first and to demonstrate WMU’s commitment to student success. There are four key components to the Western Edge™:

• Students who earn 30 credit hours during their first year on campus while maintaining a 3.0 gpa will receive a $500 scholarship when they return to WMU the following fall.
• Enhanced academic advising helps students to move through their academic programs to degree completion in a minimum amount of time.
• Graduation compacts ensure that classes are available to students when they need them.
• For students who choose to stay in the residence halls, room and board rates remain the same for up to four years.
