Western University (Azerbaijani: Qərb Universiteti) is a private university located in Baku, Azerbaijan. Founded in 1991 by Husein Baghirov, it has six schools, 25 majors, 180 faculty and approximately 1000 students. The university took its name because it is modeled after Western universities in style of instruction and values, the latter in response to some of the corrupt practices under the Soviet system [Husein Baghirov, " [http://www.azer.com/aiweb/categories/magazine/94_folder/94_articles/94_husein_baghirov.html Rethinking Education: The Birth of Western University] ", "Azerbaijan International", (9.4) Winter 2001, "Accessed on April 15, 2006"] . Much of the instruction there is conducted in English.

In the late 1990s, the school partnered with American universities, such as Indiana University, to help set up its programs in business and law [Sandy Bate, " [http://www.iuinfo.indiana.edu/HomePages/112098/text/usia.htm USIA grant to fund SPEA-Azerbaijan faculty exchanges] ", "IU Home Pages", November 20, 1998, "Accessed on April 15, 2006"] [CIEDA, " [http://www.indiana.edu/~ird/cieda/azerbaijan.htm Public Administration Curriculum Development: Western University, Azerbaijan] ", "Accessed on April 15, 2006"] . Many of its partnerships were formed through the now defunct United States Information Agency. Currently, the school has ties with Indiana University, University of Kansas, Mississippi Valley State University, University of North Alabama and Delta State University [" [http://www2.una.edu/western/una/ University of North Alabama's USIA UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM] ", "Accessed on April 15, 2006"] .
