Southeastern Illinois College is a public community college between Harrisburg and Equality in Saline County, Illinois. The college was founded in 1960 and offers associate degrees. A secondary campus, the David L. Stanley White County Center, is in Carmi, White County. Approximately 1,379 students are enrolled.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start to a degree or career training — at just $5,571/year net price, the cost is genuinely low. However, the median earnings of $33,100 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates tend to stay in modest-paying local jobs, so be realistic about long-term financial outcomes. This is a practical, community-focused option best suited for students planning to transfer to a four-year school or enter a specific trade, not those expecting a high earnings boost from the credential alone.
