Well, WOU was once just an education school, so the education department is very famous. It is also one of the only two schools in the state (The other being SOU) that offers a BFA (Bachellor of Fine Arts) for theater related careers. The school is listed as a Liberal Arts and Science college, and it lives up to that. Many of my friends, along with myself, are going into one of these two (I'm going into both). Because of such a wide variety of majors, great teachers, and small classes the school apeals to many students.
