About Southern Illinois University Carbondale

Founded in 1869 as the state’s second teachers college – with a dozen academic departments and an inaugural class of 143 – SIU Carbondale is the flagship campus of the Southern Illinois University System. It is a strong, diverse, student-centered, research-intensive, and comprehensive university that earned the prestigious 2015 community engagement classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. That designation reflects a longstanding commitment to service and outreach; in 2013 alone, 237,000 residents of central and southern Illinois benefited from 578 initiatives with more than 3,000 community partners.

The physical beauty of the region is a major attraction to students, faculty, and visitors. Sixty miles to the south of Carbondale is the historic confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the two forming the border of the southern tip of Illinois. Situated within 10 miles of the campus are two state parks, the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, and four large recreational lakes. Much of the area is a part of the 240,000-acre Shawnee National Forest.

11:1 Student-Faculty Ratio: With a lower than national average ratio, students benefit from small class sizes that foster personalized attention and deeper engagement with faculty.

3,000 Acres of Outdoor Education: SIU offers over 3,000 acres of hills and forest, providing abundant opportunities for outdoor education and adventure in a stunning natural setting.

200+ Majors, Minors, and Specializations: With more than 200 options for majors, minors, and specializations, students have the flexibility to tailor their education to fit their interests and career goals.

$69 Million in Grants: Last year, SIU was awarded $69 million in external grants, supporting innovative research and impactful service initiatives within the community.

Post-study work information

Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical. Eligibility is checked for each program — see the program page.
