Originally established as a satellite to Southern Illinois University’s
main campus in Carbondale, SIU Edwardsville has grown to become an
impressive university in its own right.
In total, SIUE offers over 85 programs of study, including bachelor’s,
master’s, and doctoral degrees.
Among the school’s diverse academic offerings, the School of Pharmacy is
particularly well regarded. Completed in 2009, the School of Pharmacy
offers state-of-the-art facilities and instruction for a rapidly growing
field.
Student life at SIU Edwardsville provides several beneficial ways to get
involved. The Kimmel Leadership Center provides numerous service
opportunities, and the Student Leadership Development Program can help
you hone essential skills for the workforce or further study.
Extensive financial aid is available at SIUE, including Illinois
scholarships offered through the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
Several institutional scholarships are also available, based on a variety
of criteria. Many of these scholarships require application, but some are
awarded automatically. For example, the E Guarantee is awarded based on
financial need to all students who complete the FAFSA.
