Since 1879, Southeastern University has prepared the adult learner to be a business professional in an environment that fosters academic excellence. The University has also recently begun to recruit the college bound senior high school student. We are educating business, technology and government leaders for the region and the world.
Southeastern is a University Center with a two-year university college; a four-year undergraduate program and a graduate school. Our unique academic year operates on the "quadmester system", which provides students the opportunity to obtain an undergraduate or graduate degree in a shorter period of time than the usual two year or four year programs. The flexible class schedules offer daytime, evening and weekend courses, which are an added convenience for students who are employed or have other obligations.
The active and engaged student body is from diverse social, religious and ethnic backgrounds, ensuring a wide range of opportunity for educational enrichment and social interaction. The University faculty is composed of persons who are distinguished scholars, high-ranking professionals in government or executives in private industry with practical experience in their professions. Their frequent contacts with outside communities and firms enable them to bring up-to-date perspectives to their teaching and to respond quickly and competently to the changing educational needs of our modern technological society.
Southeastern University is conveniently located in the heart of Southwest Washington, DC, adjacent to the Waterfront. Its close proximity to federal agencies such as the departments of Transportation, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Education, Commerce, Labor, Justice, Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency, make it ideally situated for employees who want to pursue degree programs or to take refresher classes.
To further encourage civic involvement, the University makes available its facilities and resources for both educational and social purposes. The University has developed linkages with area business establishments, corporations, law firms, financial institutions and consulting firms in order to further enhance its academic programs and the employment possibilities for students.
I welcome you to Southeastern University and I invite you to learn more about us.
