A Message from the Director Greetings!

Thank you for taking time to review our fall 2020 catalog.

Along with the rest of the planet, we have all faced significant challenges and have learned new ways of working, playing, celebrating and engaging with others. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community and to offer new, exciting offerings through credit and non-credit learning. If you have been looking to learn something new, gain new skills to advance in your career, or even to change careers, I hope you will find what you are looking for in our catalog. If you do not find what you are looking for, please let me know. Our best ideas come from our community members and we welcome your feedback.

SIUE is pleased to officially launch our online degree completion programs in: • Business Administration • Applied Communications Studies - Public Relations • Criminal Justice • Integrative Studies with an option that strives to prepare students for leadership roles in organizations Supported by the new Online Student Services unit, these programs are ideal for students who have already earned the equivalent of an associate degree. Regardless, SIUE welcomes virtual and non-virtual students with any amount of prior coursework, and we hope you will explore our academic programs and reach out to our online

team at online@siue.edu to learn more or to be directed to other admission offices.

On the non-credit side, we have several new virtual offerings. Many of our non-credit courses are working to have online formats available as additional options. Additional virtual courses include learning the basics of podcasting as well as a course in video marketing through our partnership with UGotClass. This partnership allows us to offer three new online certificates in managing social change, online teaching and sales.

We are planning the return of a series of grant writing courses, along with introducing a new series of data analytics courses and a new intermediate guitar class. We are also pleased to announce the return of the award-winning artisan bread courses and have planned a few new trips that we hope you will consider joining.

Finally, I would like to announce our new partnership with the Edwardsville Arts Center beginning this fall. Courses offered in this partnership include a framing workshop, a kid’s acrylic painting course and more.

Although it has been a bit overused in 2020, we hope you can embrace the “new normal” by creating positive change for yourself and those you love.

Wishing you all the best for fall 2020 and beyond, Mary Ettling Director of Online and Education Outreach
