Exploring Majors at SIUE

I'm trying to figure out what majors Southern Illinois University Edwardsville offers. I'm interested in fields like engineering and business. Does anyone know which programs are strong there? Any advice from current or former SIUE students?

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, often referred to as SIUE, offers a broad range of programs in many fields, including those you're interested in - engineering and business.

For engineering, SIUE has the School of Engineering that offers Bachelor's and Master's level programs in various disciplines such as Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Industrial Engineering, among others. The facility is known for its state-of-the-art labs and technology. Students often appreciate the hands-on experiential learning experiences and the opportunities to engage in research.

As for business, the School of Business at SIUE is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which is a hallmark of excellence in business education. They offer Bachelor’s and Master’s programs with disciplines in areas such as Accounting, Economics & Finance, Management & Marketing, and Computer Management and Information Systems.

One unique feature about studying at SIUE is the emphasis they place on practical experiences and internships. For example, the university has strong connections with local industries and company partners, which can be valuable for those looking to apply theory to practical scenarios, or for making early career connections in terms of internships and job placements.

However, while academically strong, your fit and feel for the institution and its programs are also important factors to consider. You could reach out to the admissions department at SIUE or arrange for a campus visit. This could further provide you with an understanding of the culture, resources, and support available to students which are equally important while choosing a major and an institution.
