"I chose to attend EIU for a few different reasons. ... I enjoy a smaller school feel, especially because of the connections and opportunities that such an environment allows for. On that note, I also chose EIU because I knew that this school would allow me to pursue everything that I hope to get out of college."Mary GraffClass of 2026, English and Theatre major

Beyond the stage, you'll cultivate crucial skills in creative communication, collaboration, and public presentation that complement any major.
