Southeast Missouri State University Viewbook Introduction Southeast Missouri State University is situated proudly on the highest hill in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, overlooking Mark Twain's majestic Mississippi River. It is exactly the kind of place that comes to mind when you imagine a traditional university campus. With an enrollment of around 8,500 students, Southeast is located in the heart of historic Cape Girardeau, a community of more than 40,000 citizens. A look at the campus reveals an eclectic mix of old and new. Campus architecture harmoniously blends with new, technologically advanced buildings to represent the mix of traditional and modern that makes Southeast unique.
Southeast students speak with pride about the beauty of their campus.
But, more importantly, they talk about the quality education they are receiving, the lifelong friendships they are forging, and the hands-on, experiential opportunities they are receiving for their future in their professional fields.
