School of Education

We are the original school at SIU and that means we have nearly 150 years of experience in shaping the educators who make a difference in the world. We help students explore possibilities, fulfill dreams and change lives.

We are a leader in off campus and online education. You can achieve your career goals on campus or in classrooms, agencies, military bases, and organizations around the world.

Our programs and initiatives continually earn national recognition, and our students enjoy the best of both worlds—strong academic programs combined with hands-on field experience in real work settings. At SIU, you will enjoy close interaction with our award-winning faculty and our supportive academic advisors and staff.

We are a diverse school, offering a wide variety of majors. With undergraduate, master's, doctoral and certification programs, we can take you as far as you want to go.
