Safety and Diversity at SIUE

At SIUE, we are committed to forming a diverse student body which allows for positive, multicultural interactions. 

• SIUE is home to nearly 400 international students from 57 nations. With nearly 30% of the student body reporting a diverse cultural background, the SIUE community allows a unique opportunity for diverse relationships and global awareness.
• SIUE is ranked 9th nationally among YourLocalSecurity's 2020 Safest College Campuses in America among institutions with more than 5,000 students.  We invest in technology such as the Rave Guardian app and our e-Lert text messaging service to keep all students safe and informed.
• The University received the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. SIUE is one of only 33 institutions that have earned the distinction for at least seven consecutive years.

I encourage you to visit the International Student Services website to learn more about the many ways SIUE supports international students. If you have any questions, please contact our international admissions team.
