Mission  
School mission: Southeast Missouri State University is a comprehensive, regional university offering 200 areas of study with numerous academic accreditations. Southeast is the only university in Missouri to have a separate campus dedicated to art, dance, music and theatre. With more than 10,800 students, Southeast is an ideal size to take advantage of critical learning and extracurricular opportunities. Southeast has freshman class sizes averaging 25-30 students, and an overall student-faculty ratio of 18 to 1. Over 95 percent of courses are taught by full-time faculty, not teaching assistants. Southeast offers a unique approach to career development. Through the innovative Career Linkages program, all Southeast students work with a career advisor as well as an academic advisor. A series of career proficiency checks are imbedded into the Southeast curriculum to prepare students for a successful career search at the time of graduation. Internships and experiential learning are strongly emphasized with more than 96 percent of all majors having an internship or clinical experience built into the curriculum. Study abroad opportunities range from two- to three-week short study tours to semester and academic year study opportunities and are available to students from all majors and interests. Located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the largest city between St. Louis and Memphis, Southeast is a great place to live and learn. Students come from all over the United States and from more than 40 countries around the world. Southeast's residence halls come in many different styles including community-style, suite-style and small group living. Students with similar interests or courses may be grouped in residential learning communities. Two recreational centers and an aquatic center are available to students along with more than 150 social, recreational and special interest student organizations.
