Size: Eastern’s attractive 320-acre campus is big enough to offer quality programs, yet small enough to offer personal attention.
Reputation: The national average for graduation rate is 44 percent. Eastern’s graduation rate was 14 percent higher than the national average at 58 percent. U.S. News and World Report’s 2019 Guide to America’s Best College ranked Eastern 5th among all public Midwestern universities with master’s programs.
Location: The EIU campus is located in Charleston, a pleasant community of 21,838 residents. The university is less than 10 miles from Interstate 57, three hours south of Chicago, two hours east of St. Louis and two hours from Springfield.
Campus Safety: The university’s own police force provides campus law enforcement and patrol services, working closely with other local law enforcement agencies and on-campus groups to further protect its community.
Small Classes: The average class size at Eastern is 14. Alumni consistently list small class size as one reason for their satisfaction with Eastern.
Faculty: With 381 full-time faculty members, Eastern offers a 1:13 faculty-student ratio.
Textbook Rental: Our Textbook Rental service saves each of our students about $900 annually by allowing them to rent, rather than buy, their textbooks.
Athletics: Eastern Illinois sponsors 20 intercollegiate sports competing at the NCAA Division I level (FCS for football). EIU competes as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) where the Panthers have finished first or second in the OVC Commissioner’s Cups race for the past seven years. Three teams do not participate in the OVC with men’s soccer, men’s and women’s swimming competing in The Summit League.
Campus Recreation: Campus Recreation offers a variety of Group Fitness Classes and Intramural Sports. The Student Recreation Center houses basketball courts, weight rooms, cardio and strength areas, and a variety of studios and meeting areas.
Student Organizations: Approximately 197 recognized student organizations are offered on Eastern’s campus. (www.eiu.edu/slo/rso/index)
Transportation: A student-funded shuttle bus, “The Panther Express,” transports students to and from classes and local businesses (https://www.eiu.edu/stuaff/shuttleschedule.php). Eastern also offers periodic weekend bus service to and from the Chicago area (https://www.eiu.edu/union/bus_ticket_office.php).
Housing: A strong percentage of Eastern students live in on-campus housing. On-campus housing plays a vital role in the university community, especially with student retention. Research indicates that students who live in university housing for at least their first two years are more likely to graduate and have a higher grade point average than those who do not.
Technology: Eastern provides voice, data, WI-FI and video/cable television networking capabilities in hundreds of individual student rooms and apartments as part of student-funded campus improvement projects.
Academic Advising: Academic advising is mandatory. All new freshmen, undecided students and students who have not met major requirements are assigned to the Academic Success Center. Each student is assigned an adviser in their department when requirements are met. Advisers help students understand university policies and procedures, decide on careers and choose the best major for that career choice.
Career Services: Career Services assists students and alumni with identifying and preparing for careers and career transitions, including skills development, networking, internships, job correspondence, job search strategies, trend analysis and occupational outlook. With 94% of students securing post-grad plans by the end of the year, EIU career outcomes continuously exceed the national average.
