About
Education
Eastern Illinois University is a public comprehensive university that offers superior, accessible undergraduate and graduate education. Students learn the methods and results of free and rigorous inquiry in the arts, humanities, sciences, and professions, guided by a faculty known for its excellence in teaching, research, creative activity, and service.
Research
Institutional Research strives to provide accurate, timely and accessible information concerning the student body, programs, and employees. The office provides information, support and guidance to the various constituent groups to assist them in their planning efforts. In an effort to enhance the university image and to address accountability/productivity requests, the institutional research area will direct its efforts towards providing easier access to data-driven information needed by legislators, prospective students, parents and internal administration.
Career

Services
Student services
Through various programs and services, it is our mission to provide a variety of co-curricular experiences designed to enrich the social, cultural, educational and personal development of EIU students; promote student leadership, civic responsibility and respect for diversity; empower and encourage EIU students to reach their full potential in a student-centered, supportive environment.
The Student Life Office takes administrative responsibility for student government, campus entertainment (University Board), multicultural programming, leadership support services and more than 200 registered student organizations.
Housing services
Most international students choose to stay in either Lincoln-Stevenson-Douglas Halls, Thomas Hall, University Court or University Apartments since these are the only housing facilities open during break periods. There is an $85.00 per week charge for students choosing to stay over breaks in Lincoln, Stevenson, Douglas or Thomas Halls halls. If you do not need housing during break periods, you are welcome to live in any of the other residence halls. There is no additional charge for students who live in University Court or University Apartments during break periods.
Library services
A comprehensive program of Library Services is offered to students, faculty and citizens of Illinois. Visit our website for the most current status of services and collections and a wealth of electronic publications. Booth Library, the general library of the University, is named in honor of Miss Mary Josephine Booth, who served as Head Librarian at Eastern from 1904 to 1945.
Medical services
Eastern Illinois University requires that all students who enroll in 9 or more on-campus hours, all Graduate Assistants under contract to the University, and all International students enrolled in 3 or more on-campus hours, be covered by health insurance and provide a supplemental plan of medical coverage for injury and illness
