Overlooking Mark Twain’s mighty Mississippi River, Southeast Missouri State University is the kind of place that people across the globe imagine when they think of college. The beautiful campus is an eclectic mix of old and new. Classic limestone buildings blend harmoniously with contemporary structures. Southeast was recently named the safest campus in Missouri and among the safest in the nation by StateUniversity.com.

Our academics combine the best of tradition with technology of the future. Career training and broad-based liberal arts education emphasize writing and critical thinking, which are required in all occupations. In addition, hands-on learning opportunities and internships in every major prepare you for your first job.

With more than 1,600 undergraduate courses, we teach everything from the classics to robotics. This extensive curriculum offers unique opportunities—pre-medical students take fine arts courses; musicians confront computers; nutrition majors crunch numbers in statistics courses and scientists play the trombone.

Across the curriculum, technology enhances learning— in language labs, in the management of stock portfolios, in practicing the latest nursing techniques, in chemistry, in graphic design, in education, in sophisticated science labs and at the new River Campus.

You may choose from more than 200 areas of study and many programs that have additional, prestigious accreditations from national and international organizations. This is important because it means you can study a variety of subjects, choose from numerous majors, and meet people who are pursuing a range of interesting careers. Unlike a liberal arts institution or an engineering school whose mission is very specific, you can stay at Southeast and change your mind about your major or enhance your career potential by adding a double or even a triple major.

With an enrollment of more than 11,000, our academic programs blend the advantages of a large institution with an emphasis on small class sizes that makes learning interactive and fun.

Business programs are housed in Dempster Hall, a wireless Internet environment featuring an electronic presentation lab and more than 400 networked computers with the latest software.

Unlike many universities, our small class size lets you learn from faculty who provide personal attention to make your college career productive.

For many, the desire to teach has been a lifelong consideration. Perhaps it is because learning is something we have all experienced in a personal way. Regardless of how we came to think about the classroom, the future for teachers is bright. There are critical shortages of teachers in the fields of special education, math, science, foreign language and technology. If you are considering teaching as a profession, you are looking at the right university. For more than a century, Southeast has been preparing and sustaining some of the nation’s brightest and best teachers. Moreover, we have a record of accomplishment to prove it. Consider these recognitions received over the years.

According to surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, most employers are more concerned about candidates’ skills than their major. The skills they want most include communication and critical thinking, skills for which liberal arts graduates are known. An education in the liberal arts gives you broad-based training for careers in business, the arts, media, education and the legal profession. Southeast joined institutions worldwide in securing prestigious mass communication program accreditation by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). Only one other institution in Missouri has this elite accreditation. In addition, our public relations program is one of only 28 institutions—none in Missouri—that holds certification by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). Only 12 other institutions in the world have recognition from both ACEJMC and PRSA for their mass communication program. Campus media, student publications and internships prepare you for a variety of exciting careers. Students have opportunities to work on the student-managed radio station, KDMC Rage 103.7, the Arrow student newspaper, and the “U2” campus television station, all under the supervision of faculty from the Department of Mass Media. Students gain practical experience in their internship that is part of the required curriculum in the department as well.

If you are a budding author or simply love English, you will be surrounded by a world of writing and publishing when you become part of our campus community of writer-publishers.

The Importance of Writing … what we do to support you in that effort It is unthinkable to send college graduates who are not competent writers into the work force. In all jobs, you encounter memos, reports, proposals, etc. This kind of writing cannot be learned in a course or two in college. We approach writing differently than many colleges and universities. While other institutions designate specific courses, Southeast integrates writing throughout your curriculum. At universities where writing is assigned to English departments, students rarely learn how to write from experts in the various fields. In our “writing in the disciplines” model, students get writing instruction at all levels and in all areas of study. There are plenty of resources to make sure you succeed! Our writing center staff helps you analyze and improve your paper in terms of grammar, citations and clarity. They will not write a paper for you, but will work with what you have written to improve your paper. Input is possible face-to-face or via email. Before you graduate, you must pass a writing proficiency exam. Employers consistently comment that this makes our graduates attractive. In today’s career market, it is critical to have every advantage.

Political science prepares you for careers in law, business, government, politics, etc. Each year approximately 30 students from a variety of majors around the University travel to Washington, D.C. to conference with some of the nation’s top scholars at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Students work with government personnel, including the likes of Sam Nunn and Henry Kissinger, and discuss global policies. Our pre-law program provides a comprehensive foundation to study law. During the last five years, Southeast’s pre-law students have exceeded the national LSAT average score, and their placement rate in law school approaches 100 percent. Psi Chi, the national honor society for psychology, and the Psychology Club co-sponsor the much-anticipated annual Student Research Conference during which students across campus display their scholarly endeavors. Philosophy majors study the texts and traditions that define Western thought and analyze contemporary problems in cognitive science, legal theory and applied ethics. Students majoring in philosophy have a 100 percent acceptance rate to graduate and law school.

College is a lot different than high school and new students face many changes. For one thing, college is harder. There is more homework, long papers and short deadlines. With more freedom, time management becomes increasingly important. Sleeping until noon and skipping classes are options, but not good ones! Following are a few of the ways we help new students–freshmen and transfers–transition into the intellectual and social community at Southeast.

f Living/learning communities cater to student preferences–business, education, first-year students, health and human sciences, honors program, visual and performing arts, etc.

f “Engage in 8!” gets you involved during the first eight weeks, focusing on activities including athletics, cultural events, national speakers and programs to help you survive.

f Opening Week is a time of fun and learning with social events and opportunities to learn about clubs and service activities.

f A student wellness campaign keeps you healthy in spite of long nights studying and more food choices than you have ever known.

f “Finish in 4!” is a computerized planning tool to help you select the right courses to graduate in four years–or close to it. Immensely popular, the DegreeWorks program is like a GPS system for your college career.

f Trained residence hall staff supports you during this exciting time. If you need a tutor, financial advice or just someone to talk to, they are the ‘go to’ people.

By now, you probably get it. Once you are on campus, we want you to thrive and eventually leave with your college diploma in hand.

Southeast was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top 40 “Best First-Year Experience” among U.S. colleges and universities.

There are lots of fun opportunities for students outside the classroom. So many, in fact, your biggest challenge will be deciding what to choose. The night with nothing to do is rare. A typical week offers a women’s soccer match, a classical music concert, a comedy act sponsored by the Student Activities Council, a dance or intramural sports tournament. The beautiful Show Me Center is a performance arena that hosts entertainers, concerts, ice shows and Division I men’s and women’s basketball. Students get in free to Southeast athletic events in this facility. Are you interested in getting involved? With more than 150 organizations as diverse as the magic club, ultimate frisbee, dodgeball and Up ‘til Dawn, there is something for everyone. Whether it’s the late-night pizza run, registering student voters or cheering the Redhawks on to victory, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to get involved. There is a lot going on when students get together at the University Center between classes. Lunchtime entertainment, career services and three dining areas provide a perfect location for students to “meet and greet” throughout the day and night. You won’t have time to be bored at the student union! At Southeast, we develop leaders. The Cornerstone Leadership Program is a sequence: First-Year Leadership Program, Emerging Leaders, and President’s Leadership Academy. Student Government represents students on campus. Student Activities Council plans and organizes campus events, and the Residence Hall Association is the student voice for their living environment.

Many consider Southeast’s residence halls to be the best in Missouri.

Living on campus is an integral part of the college experience. Students who live in one of Southeast’s 11 residence halls eat their meals in one of nine dining areas, study in the lounges or computer labs, and sleep—when there’s time! Southeast’s residence halls come in many different styles including community-style, suite-style, group living and apartments. Students share a double room with a roommate, giving new students opportunities to meet other students and to get to know the campus. Each floor or wing is staffed with a resident assistant who is available to connect you to University resources. You have many choices about where you will live. Your room has furniture, but you make it your own with posters, pictures, etc. Each room has 24-hour Internet access and cable TV. Dining on campus isn’t just grabbing fast food and running—it can be a culinary experience! Students living in the residence halls can choose from dining areas open from early morning to midnight. There’s always someplace to pick up a bagel, salad or pizza, or it can be an opportunity to enjoy a meal with friends and have a lively discussion about today’s psychology lecture.
