In 1869, SIU was founded as a teacher's college named Southern Illinois Normal University. It began with twelve academic departments, and an initial class of 143. The university remained a teacher's college until Delyte W. Morris took office as president of the university 1948. Morris was SIU's longest serving (1948-1970) president. and during his presidency, SIU was transformed from a teacher's college, to the second-ranking public comprehensive research university in Illinois.[citation needed] Among his many accomplishments, Morris created SIU's law, medical, and dental schools. [1]

SIU's total undergraduate enrollment is around 20,000. Typical of public research universities, SIU has over 170 academic degree programs--across all levels; associates, bachelors, masters, and doctoral. It also offers professional programs in business, law and medicine. Since 1989, SIU has offered an M.D./J.D. dual degree program, leading to the concurrent award of both degrees after six years. [1]
