Southeast’s mission is to provide the opportunity for higher education in our region. Sometimes, location matters. It’s why we have multiple campuses and some specialty campuses, so you get your degree where and how you need.
Campuses Close to Home
Flexible learning isn’t just about the format of your class or your schedule. It’s about being able to achieve your goals. We know that may mean you need to stay close to home, but it shouldn’t mean you can’t go far in your education. Southeast has campuses at Sikeston, Kennett, and Poplar Bluff so you can get your degree without having to uproot your life. And, sometimes you’re so passionate about your academic program that you need to be immersed. Our River Campus was designed so all areas of the arts can learn from and inspire each other. Afterall, that’s how you get a masterpiece.
