AAU Institutions

As noted in WSU’s 2014-2019 Strategic Plan and as directed by WSU’s Board of Regents, WSU strives for excellence as a research university and compares itself to members of the Association of American Universities (AAU), a non-profit association of 61 U.S. and two Canadian preeminent research universities. Four member institutions serve as WSU’s aspirational peers and each is a land-grant, research university with a program in veterinary medicine but with no medical school — Iowa State University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Purdue University, and Texas A&M University.
