The Linkages program allows students to take classes at Western Illinois University and
the local community college on WIU's campus. The program is designed as an alternative
for students who say, "I want to go away to school, but I'm going to community college
first". Linkages students will live in on campus housing, attend Division I athletic events,
use all of WIU's facilities, and have their community college classes offered in their
freshmen residence halls. Because of the lower tuition and fees offered by the community
college, this program can reduce the cost of attendance by $6,000, which closes the
financial gap for many low and middle income students.
