In the College of Arts and Media (CAM), we support students as they become creators, critical thinkers, and members of the global community. We are committed to educating students across platforms in both the foundational theories of their disciplines and the hands-on application of their fields.

We provide you with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to pursue myriad careers and opportunities. International scholars, industry professionals, and dedicated support staff make it their priority to provide support both in and out of the classroom to ensure students excel at SIU and beyond.
