School Description
Provided by Southeast Missouri State UniversityFounded in 1873, Southeast Missouri State University has a proud history of excellence in education. First founded as a teacher’s college, the institution has grown into a comprehensive University with more than 150 academic programs in five colleges.
With more than 10,500 students, Southeast is large enough to provide you with a wealth of academic choices and options, but small enough so your professors call you by name and give you personal attention.
Our classes average 25 to 30 students - even at the freshman level - and our student-faculty ration is 18 to 1, making Southeast the perfect size for the opportunities you expect and desire.
At Southeast, 100 percent of our majors offer an experiential or hands-on learning component, from student teaching for education majors to internships with companies for business majors, as well as a vast array of opportunities for the visual and performing arts. When you graduate from Southeast, you'll have actual work experience on your resume!
Southeast is a comprehensive university, with more than 200 different areas of study. So if you come here with one major in mind and decide to change majors, we'll still have the courses and programs to fit your needs.
Southeast is at the forefront of technology in education. From online courses to pod- and vodcasting making it possible to hear and view class lectures in MP3, MP4, RSS or Atom formats, students are learning beyond the static desktop computer to anytime, any place, anywhere. Using your iPod, laptop or other wireless device, students can access computer simulation foremats for many of the academic areas. Across campus, computer labs are open day and night, with more than 3,000 computers available to students. Southeast has 35 miles of fiber optic cable, e-mail accounts for every student and constant contact with "My Southeast," the internet portal.
Southeast Missouri State University
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaSoutheast Missouri State University is a public, accredited university located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, not far from the banks of the Mississippi River. Southeast Missouri State University has had five names in its history, each time attempting to better reflect its mission and identity:
Student body and diversity
In Fall 2006, the University had over 10,000 students for the first time. 93.1% of students attended full-time, while 6.9% attended part-time. In Fall 2002, 645 male students and 921 female students enrolled as first-time students (freshmen, typically). Female students made up 58.8% of the student body. Minority enrollment included African-American (6%), Hispanic (1%), and Asian (1%).
History
Southeast Missouri State University was founded in 1873 when a group of prominent businessmen and politicians successfully lobbied the State of Missouri to designate Cape Girardeau as the home of the Third District Normal School. Originally known as Southeast Missouri State Normal School, the first classes were originally taught at the nearby Lorimier School until April 1875 when the first normal school building was completed. ]
The Normal building was described by Mark Twain in "Life on the Mississippi":"There was another college higher up on an airy summit--a bright new edifice, picturesquely and peculiarly towered and pinnacled--a sort of gigantic casters, with the cruets all complete."
The Old Normal Building burned down on April 8, 1902, and was replaced in 1906 by Academic Hall, the school's domed landmark building. It was designed by Jerome Bibb Legg, who also designed the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall, and includes light fixtures from the 1904 World's Fair.]
In the 1950s Southeast Missouri State College had an enrollment of approximately 1,600 students and steadily increased to more than 7,000 students in the 1970s due to low tuition costs, aggressive recruiting, and the construction of Interstate 55 between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau. The College also moved away from its focus on only training teachers and began to offer courses of study in business, nursing, and the liberal arts. Due to this expansion of curriculum and student body population, the college officially became Southeast Missouri State University in 1972. The physical size of the campus also grew in this same period. In 1956, the institution had ten buildings on campus.

Question: Does anyone go to Southeast Missouri State University?I have a few questions. Do you like the school? What are the people like? Is it a party school? What is the typical student to teacher ratio?14 months ago
Best AnswerThe best way to find out info is to find a student. You can find some contact information for Missouri universities here. http://www.collegereviewed.com/Missouri-Colleges-Universities.html Students always seem to know what's going on better than outsiders since they spend so much time on campus. |
Question: Im visiting cape girardeau missouri and i need some advice on the town and commuting back and forth. Thanks!!?Im going to visit southeast missouri state university for their transfer orientation in november. I have to catch 2 planes cause there is no bus or train that runs thru cape girardeau missouri and i already have a flight thru st. louis lambert airport. Is anyone familar with rhe cape girardeau missouri area and the university. What are the good hotels and car rental places there?? Thanks!:)15 months ago
Best AnswerCape Girardeau isn't that big. The easiest thing to do is to rent from the airport car rental though since the airport is actually on the outskirts of the city limits and all of the other rental places are inside the town. I'm not sure what rental place is at the airport though because I've never actually flown into the airport. It's only a short drive from St louis and once you get on the 55 it's a straight shot south (I believe it's about a 2 hour drive). Otherwise if your flying into the Cape Girardeau airport but don't want to rent a car from the airport rental place, I'm sure Hertz or Enterprise wouldn't mind picking you up. Cape Girardeau has both and I've used both. Both have good cars at descent prices. As far as Hotels, most within the city limits are close to the campus. Cape is a nice quaint place.. once you get familiar with the town you will find navigating to be pretty easy. I think most of the hotels are pretty descent but I've only stayed at the Drury Inn and Holiday Inn Express. Once again both were really nice and I'd probably just call and stay at the cheaper of the two. The same goes for the car rental place. Whatever is cheaper or whomever has a car more to my liking would probably help me decide whom to use. If you have any more questions feel free to send me a message on my yahoo tag.. josh_g2005 |
Question: I'm going to southeast missouri state this fall! How is the university and the town?? Thanks!!!?im transferring to southeast missouri state university in cape giradeau in missouri this fall 2008. I am very excited and I just wanted to know if you knew anything about the school and its enviorment. This will be my first time going away to school. My major is nursing. Its 2 hours from st. louis and im loooking foward this fall to going!!22 months ago
Best AnswerThat's where I went, some 15 years ago. The school has changed considerably in those years. There are new buildings and upgraded dorms. I enjoyed my time there and often wish I was back there. I met some great people and made friends that I still stay in contact with. Class sizes will range from 20 to 30 students at the beginning of the semesters. I majored in Biology but really never knew anyone majoring in nursing. I'm just guessing the class sizes will be the same. The Cape has grown a lot too. There are several restaurants, malls and shopping areas now, compared to back then. I hope you enjoy your time there. |
Question: southeast missouri state university...?i'm thinking about transferring to SEMO and i'm wondering if they have a good social work, BSW program? how the campus life is.. and how clean the residence halls are, considering you have to live in them until junior year. thanks! :)27 months ago
Best AnswerThe social work program would be considered average - that is that it is CSWE accredited, the faculty have good reputations, but they are not necessarily leaders in social work education. I don't know how clean the RH are...but like most schools they are better at the start of the semester than the end. DA |
Question: What are flex dollars at universities?Because for Southeast Missouri State University for board they have 15 Meals/week plus 140.00 flex dollars. what are flex dollars?42 months ago
Best AnswerFlex dollars are dollars that can be used @ other eating establishments on campus, or in some cases off campus. 150 might sound like a lot, but it will go by quickly. Budget your flex dollars wisely. |
