Why you should attend?

EIU offers students a small campus, close-knit community and great hands-on opportunities to pursue their goals and dreams. As a public university, however, we provide these qualities at an affordable rate. Consistently ranked in the top third of Midwest universities in its class by U.S. News & World Report, Eastern has earned its reputation by offering a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs taught by experienced and caring faculty. The Military Student Assistance Center provides a support service for military students, maximizing opportunities for enrollment, transition, academics and career placement and received the 2012 Illinois Governor's Award.
