School Details

Founded in 1869 as the state’s second teachers college—with a dozen academic departments and an inaugural class of 143—Southern Illinois University Carbondale is the flagship campus of the Southern Illinois University System. Diversity is an integral part of our legacy, dating to the inaugural class of 143 that included two African American students. Today, minority students make up 29 percent of the total enrollment, and SIU Carbondale continues to rank among the nation’s top colleges and universities in the number of degrees awarded to students in ethnic and racial minority groups. 

SIU Carbondale is a comprehensive university awarding degrees from the associate’s to the doctoral level.  For those who require more flexibility there are online degrees at all levels as well. SIU Carbondale online degrees allow you to earn a degree without stepping foot on campus while still enjoying many of the same benefits found on campus. This includes an accessible faculty and the same curriculum as on-campus programs. All students, both online and on campus, receive the same diploma and transcripts.
