Whatever you do here, you won’t do alone.

At Southeast Missouri State University, you’ll find exceptional academic mentoring, accommodations and services for students of all abilities, and people who care about your social and emotional well-being as much as your academic success.

The services and resources we provide are available from the first day of freshman through every level of graduate study.

Student, Exceptional Child Major

SEMO definitely on their end, went above and beyond what they needed to do for me. And, really cared for me more than just a student, but as a person and my well-being, and got me back in the classroom.

At Southeast, I was given so many opportunities to meet people and faculty who wanted me to do well. They wanted to see me succeed. And that was just something that I really appreciated. I'm very, very thankful to be able to have all the support that I do at Southeast.
