Since 1951 Eastern has been committed to advancing the professional and personal lives of our students by providing graduate degree programs and graduate courses to support rigorous study and professional development. Graduate study at EIU offers students a favorable faculty-to-student ratio in our 25 master’s and specialist’s programs and five certificate programs. Currently, more than 1,800 part-time and full-time graduate students are enrolled and more than 300 faculty hold graduate faculty status.
A few good reasons why you should pursue graduate study at EIU:
Graduate programs achieving the distinction of "First Choice" have applied and been subjected to rigorous review from EIU's Council on Graduate Studies, with oversight from the Graduate School, to ensure they meet the highest standards of scholarly excellence as evidenced through sustained achievement of criteria developed and adopted by the Council in 2006.
