The two Midwestern University campuses each afford you unlimited opportunities by their proximity to large metropolitan areas. Our Downers Grove, Illinois Campus, with 105 acres boasting innovative facilities, nestles serenely in a wooded setting 25 miles west of downtown Chicago. Our Glendale, Arizona Campus, a 156-acre location that includes state-of-the-art facilities in a peaceful setting, is just 15 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix.

Enrollment for both campuses for the 2023-2024 academic year exceeds 6,600 students and includes approximately 1,845 osteopathic medical students, 620 pharmacy students, 1,145 dental medicine students, 515 optometry students, 500 veterinary students, 145 podiatry students, 1,530 College of Health Sciences students, and 380 College of Graduate Studies students.

To help our students manage their academic responsibilities, we provide a variety of support, study, and tutorial programs.

Believing that well-rounded individuals make more caring healthcare professionals, we offer our students a variety of social, academic, and personal enrichment activities.

The Financial Aid Office helps coordinate three types of resources: scholarships and grants, employment programs, and loans. The Office automatically mails a financial aid packet to accepted students who return a signed matriculation agreement and submit their initial deposit.
