For K-12 Teachers

Are you a K-12 teacher in the Metro East or Greater St. Louis Area?
Do you need continuing education courses to maintain your teacher certification or are you working towards an advanced education degree?

SIUE’s Department of Educational Outreach can help. We offer the courses teachers need to maintain certification, earn degrees and advance your career! Plus, our courses are online, off campus and at affordable prices!

Earn your credits in a university environment — at times, places and affordable rates that work for you.

• Get one-on-one help to find the courses you need by calling our Distance Learning office at 618-650-3210 or email   Or sign-up for our distance learning mailing list . We can help you find courses that work for your schedule and budget, and we can help guide you through admissions and enrollment.
• Explore our course offerings using searchable course schedules on CougarNet. Choose semester or dates you need, and then search under one of our education subjects. Look for classes offered on campus, on the Web or in your community!
