An Important Note about this Catalog ...

Welcome to SIUE

On behalf of the faculty and staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. As you review this catalog you will note the wide array of programs and courses offered at SIUE. In addition, as you look further, you will see that our programs are accredited by the appropriate agency responsible for quality assurance. Accreditation is a means of ensuring that you are receiving an education that has met the standards of professionals in the field.

As students, you are witnessing two events that are important to the University’s history, the opening of our new Engineering Building and construction of our third residence hall, Bluff Hall.

With the opening of the engineering facility, a new era begins for engineering at SIUE. Engineering students now have one of the finest engineering facilities in the Midwest. With the fall 2001 opening of the new residence hall, Bluff Hall, we continue to make the transition from a largely commuter institution to a well balanced residential and commuter school. It is an exciting time to be at the University!

As you page through this catalog and make decisions about your academic career, be sure to take a look at the variety of student activities that are available. This is an important part of your education, whether you get involved in an academic honor society or club, the Student Government, a Greek letter organization, the University Center Board, or intramurals, they will “round out” your SIUE experience. We hope that you will take advantage of what the University offers.

We will do everything possible to help you achieve your personal goals We’re glad that you’ve chosen SIUE!
