Ever since when a country doctor, Andrew Taylor Still, announced his new theory of osteopathy and began the first college in , the profession has grown in reputation and acceptance around the country and many international settings.
Today, Midwestern University is still governed by the strong principles of the founding administration and faculty. We are an independent, not-for-profit University organized primarily to provide graduate and postgraduate education in the health sciences. We are dedicated to the education and development of our students, faculty, and staff in an environment that encourages learning and personal development. From the earliest days of our founding college, the development of the University has been impressive.
The vision of the University leadership is to serve the needs of society by developing the healthcare team of tomorrow, while students learn the art and science of their professions within a safe and secure campus environment.
Following the relocation of the College, the Board of Trustees voted to begin the development of new academic programs within the health sciences. In , the Board of Trustees unanimously approved a single educational mission for the institution, and Midwestern University emerged.
The Downers Grove Campus, located on acres, has buildings that include academic classrooms, laboratories, auditoria, and student housing. The Glendale Campus was established in when the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of land and the building of a new campus in Arizona.
At Midwestern, service is not an elective course, but rather an integral part of the educational experience shared by students, faculty, and staff. Midwestern University's historical and sustaining philosophy dedicates the institution and its resources to the highest standards of academic excellence to meet the educational needs of the healthcare community.
