Program Faculty

One of the strengths of the Student Affairs Program at Western Kentucky University is the diversity of its faculty. Students typically have four different instructors for their Student Affairs core courses. Overall, students have exposure to 9-12 different faculty who bring their particular perspective into focus during a student's academic tenure at Western. Also, students routinely have the opportunity to interact with Student Affairs professionals at Western and neighboring institutions. This 'hands-on' exposure is an invaluable component of Western's program.
