Southeastern is the right choice for you. More and more students  see the value of a quality education at an affordable price and are  choosing Southeastern. Our “Triple ‘A’ Promise” is a large part  of it.    Southeastern makes higher education Affordable—we’re the  best bargain in the area. Our tuition is one of the lowest in the  Midwest—because we know that helps you to pursue higher  education.
