At SIUE, we believe that education is more than classroom learning. Campus activities present students with an every-changing spectrum of cultural, social, service and recreational experiences designed to complement the academic program. Theater and dance productions, musical presentations, art collections, renowned speakers and artists, and the fine swimming, biking and other recreation offered by the University’s 2660 acres of rolling, wooded hills make SIUE an exciting place. In addition, the campus is situated in a rural area with access to the resources of the metropolitan St. Louis area, located just twenty minutes away.

At SIUE, more than 600 faculty members engage in instruction, research, and public service. Though each of these activities enhances students’ academic opportunities, it is through instruction that students benefit most directly. Eighty-five percent of the faculty possess terminal degrees earned at universities in the United States and abroad. In 1996, the faculty received 194 grants or contracts totalling $13.5 million. The University emphasizes the instructional responsibilities of the faculty. A listing of the faculty is included in this catalog.

SIUE offers a broad range of quality educational experiences at affordable tuition rates, an architecturally distinguishable campus, the tranquility of rural life, and access to the excitement of a major American city. All of these factors contribute to the quality of educational opportunities at SIUE and will make your experience here everything education should be.
