Educational Outreach

Explore our Educard Program!

Educard is a special non-credit program which allows community members to attend selected credit classes offered by SIUE for $60 per course. This program is geared towards community members including business professionals, teachers, senior citizens, and anyone interested in learning. High school students at least 16 years of age can participate and take up to three Educard courses before officially enrolling at SIUE.

“I was completely monolingual when I started taking Italian at SIUE through the Educational Outreach office. I didn't think I would ever be able to understand people speaking a different language, let alone be able to speak it myself. But I can! The professors have incorporated having fun with learning languages and I intend to keep coming back and building on the foundation given me. Without the Educational Outreach office, I would never have been able to accomplish my dream.” - Nancy M.

Educard offers a wide variety of classes, which provides an opportunity for you to sample the subjects that interest you the most. Being enrolled in Educard courses allows you to borrow textbooks relevant to your course at no costs through Textbook Services, and it also allows you free use of Lovejoy Library with a courtesy card. Previously approved classes that were offered came from departments such as Foreign Languages, Computer Science, Historical Studies, and Construction, to name a few.

Educational Outreach would like to encourage you to take part in one of our many Educard opportunities. Classes start on August 19th, so don’t hesitate to register.  See a full detailed list of Educard classes and register or give us a call at (618)650-3210.
