Beautiful CAMPUS At SIUE, we’re known for our beautiful campus. Our scenic and modern campus sits on 2,660 acres of forested woodland.

We are committed to continually enhancing the learning environment for students and making campus an even more amazing place to be. Since 2006, the University has completed more than $300 million in construction and infrastructure improvements, adding new state-of-the-art buildings, and enhancing and expanding existing structures.

All new campus construction is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certifiable by the U.S. Green Building Council. The new Art and Design Building has achieved a LEED gold rating and the Science Building and Lucas Annex have achieved a LEED silver rating. SIUE is second in the region for the number of LEED buildings on university campuses, placing only behind Washington University in St. Louis. SIUE has achieved a bronze rating based on the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System for campus-wide sustainable practices from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.

Affordable EXCELLENCE

awarded in scholarships and financial aid last year

$148

million

Our tuition and required fees are among the lowest of all four-year institutions in Illinois. Last year alone, we awarded $148 million in scholarships and financial aid and our average financial aid package was $11,950.

It’s no surprise SIUE made Washington Monthly magazine’s 2013 select list of “Best Bang for Your Buck” colleges and universities. The magazine created the ranking to identify those colleges that do the best job of helping students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices. Out of the 1,572 colleges and universities in Washington Monthly’s broader college rankings, only 349 made this list.

In order to take full advantage of the financial aid available to you, it is important that you apply for federal financial aid by filing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as possible. You can file beginning January 1.

The earlier your FAFSA is filed, the more eligible you are for federal aid, which is given on a first-come, first-served basis. You don’t have to have your tax return completed in order to file a FAFSA. The SIUE Office of Financial Aid will work with you to put together a combination of scholarships, grants, student loans, parent loans and student employment to help you fund your education.

The average starting salary of SIUE graduates is $44,200. That’s more than graduates from Illinois State, Butler, University of Nebraska, Loyola Chicago, University of Kansas, Drake, Indiana State, Truman State ... the list goes on.

(According to payscale.com, which ranks institutions by the average earnings of their graduates)

Newly enrolled SIUE freshmen or transfer undergraduate students lock in a guaranteed tuition rate for four continuous academic years.
