The sprawling, suburban campus of Southern Illinois State University Edwardsville is located about 20 miles northeast of Saint Louis, Missouri. This public university was established in 1957 to address a need -- a lack of higher education in the region. Today, the university offers 65 undergraduate degree programs and 49 graduate degree programs. The campus, which covers 2,660 acres, is one of the largest (by area) campuses in the country. The campus is attractive with plenty of trees, lakes, and rolling hills for students to enjoy.
The SIUE Cougars compete in NCAA Division I, offering eight varsity teams in sports that include basketball, baseball, and soccer. Cheer on the Cougars at Vadalabene Center for basketball, the Roy E. Lee Field at Simmons Baseball Complex for baseball, and Ralph Korte Stadium for soccer. The men's soccer team is especially strong, holding several national championships. Be sure to visit the Athletics Hall of Fame to learn more about SIUE's outstanding athletes.
