4.3 University Overview
Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) is a comprehensive university with nationally and internationally recognized instructional, research, and service programs. Chartered in 1869 as Southern Illinois Normal University, a teachers' college, the institution was renamed Southern Illinois University (SIU) in 1947 and it awarded its first doctoral degree in 1959. In the early 1970s, SIU expanded into a two-institution system comprising SIUC, which also has a School of Medicine at Springfield, and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, which also has a School of Dental Medicine at Alton and a center in East St. Louis.
SIUC is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of all major associations for higher education, including the Council of Graduate Schools and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.
SIUC has one of the two most diverse academic program offerings in the state, according to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. We offer bachelor's degrees through more than 80 programs, master's and doctoral degrees through nearly 100 programs, and J.D. and M.D. degrees. Degrees are awarded through eight colleges (Agricultural Sciences, Applied Sciences and Arts, Business, Education and Human Services, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Mass Communication and Media Arts, and Science), the law school, and the medical school. Graduate degrees are awarded through the Graduate School.
Total University enrollment in fall semester 2008 was 20,983: 15,980 undergraduate students, 4,035 graduate students, and 658 graduate and professional students (Institutional Research, http://www.irs.siu.edu/quickfacts/byClass.aspx).
As of fall 2008, total minority enrollment stood at 25% of the undergraduate student population, 13% of the graduate student population, and 16% of the professional student population (Institutional Research, http://www.irs.siu.edu/quickfacts/race_eth.aspx). SIUC ranks 38th among all U.S. colleges and universities in awarding baccalaureate degrees to African-American students, and 24th among the nation's traditionally white universities. We also rank 2nd among U.S. colleges and universities in the number of education baccalaureates awarded to African-American students (Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, June 12, 2008 issue, data from 2006-07 academic year). In addition, SIUC is second in education degrees earned by all minority students. Click here for more Top 100 data related to diversity.
Fall semester 2008 enrollment included 1,150 international students (Institutional Research, http://www.irs.siu.edu/quickfacts/race_eth.aspx), and the University has numerous international linkages and faculty/student exchange agreements.

4.4 Research Capabilities and Outreach
SIUC is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Research University—High Research Activity, the second-highest tier. We rank #101 among public universities in the United States for total R&D expenditures, and #142 among all U.S. universities (National Science Foundation, Academic Research and Development Expenditures: Fiscal Year 2006, November 2007). This places us within the top 4 percent of U.S. higher education institutions for research endeavors.
FY 2008 external grant and contract awards to SIUC totaled just over $70 million (excluding Financial Aid Office awards). Some $34.5 million supported research projects, $4.6 million supported training and instructional projects, and $31 million supported outreach/service and other projects. Find the most recent grant data, as well as data from past fiscal years, on ORDA's grant funding web page.
The Office of Research Development and Administration (ORDA), a unit of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Dean, coordinates external grants and contracts, oversees compliance issues, and offers numerous research-related services. See our overview page. We also administer internal funding programs for faculty, and we coordinate REACH, an undergraduate research program that offers small grants to students. The Vice Chancellor for Research administers a Matching Funds program for grants and a New Faculty Startup Program.
SIUC's 20-plus research centers span the gamut from workforce education and global media to wildlife ecology and coal research. Many focus on interdisciplinary work. See our full list of research centers and institutes, which also includes a listing of research consortia to which SIUC belongs, and a listing of external research organizations based at or administered by SIUC.
Campus researchers have access to the services of several research support facilities, some centrally administered and some housed within colleges or departments. Their services range from equipment fabrication to DNA sequencing, electron microscopy to laboratory animal care.
Morris Library, an open-stack, subject-division library, is a member of the Association for Research Libraries. It has holdings of more than 2.6 million volumes, more than 3.6 million microform units, and more than 36,000 current serials (including electronic resources). It is a depository for federal, state, and United Nations documents and houses the archives for Illinois' southernmost 22 counties as part of the Illinois Regional Archives Depository system. Special Collections contains internationally known manuscript and book collections in American philosophy, First Amendment freedoms, and modern American, British, and Irish literature.
Information Technology maintains an extensive website about computing services available to faculty and students. SIUC is a member of Internet2, and SIUC researchers also have access to supercomputing facilities at other institutions.
Instructional Support Services provides instructional technology development and support for faculty, including resources for web design and programming, video production, digital imaging, and curriculum design and instruction. In addition, the New Media Center at SIUC operates two multimedia computer labs to support teaching and research. The College of Liberal Arts NMC focuses on faculty training and courseware development; the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts NMC focuses on development of new applications and creative and research activity.
The Division of Continuing Education offers credit and credit-free activities on and off campus, including regular extension and individualized learning courses, conferences, workshops, seminars, and other programs that serve state, national, and international constituents. It also has an Office of Distance Education that offers web-based and print-based courses.
The SIUC Broadcasting Service operates two public television stations and three public radio stations—WSIU-TV/WSIU-FM in Carbondale, WUSI-TV/WUSI-FM in Olney, and WVSI-FM in Mount Vernon—serving over 600,000 households in southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, and southwest Indiana. WSIU/WUSI-TV's Learning Services offers K-12 instructional series, Adult Learning telecourses, and community outreach programs, including PBS Ready-to Learn programming.
SIUC ranks among the top 125 universities in the nation in terms of patent activity and licensing revenues (FY 2004 data, Association of University Technology Managers). See ORDA's Technology Transfer web site for information. The Southern Illinois Research Park in Carbondale, which has the Dunn-Richmond Economic Development Center as its anchor, fosters high-tech startup businesses. In addition, the Dunn-Richmond Center offers incubator space to businesses and houses the Small Business Development Center.
