It gradually expanded its curriculum to include Baccalaureate and Master's degrees in most of the arts, sciences, and humanities. The College of Education remains the largest department, but programs in Science and Communication Disorders have become quite prominent. EIU now serves nearly 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
