Students from 45 countries and all 50 states add to the unique Southeast experience. With approximately 400 faculty members, the University is large enough to provide a variety of academic programs. At the same time, it is small enough that students get to know each other and the faculty on a personal basis. Over 95 percent of courses are taught by dedicated, full-time faculty who bring the wealth of their experiences and research to the classroom. Faculty members have degrees from Yale and Princeton and Dartmouth-to name a few.
Technology is one of the hallmarks at Southeast.
The University is nationally recognized and accredited for its teacher education program. The program is strongly field-based with a commitment to place students in area classrooms beginning the freshman year. Southeast's education program is the nation's only two-time winner of the prestigious Christa McAuliffe Award. Science and pre-med programs excel at Southeast. Over the past decades, students have consistently been admitted to medical schools at a rate that exceeds the national average.
