Summit means the top or the highest part of something. In our case, Summit means the highest quality of learning. It is a life philosophy that we abide by. In life, we need to strive to be the highest of every aspect. As an institution, we want our students to be the peak in their areas.
The Life Philosophy of Summit:
Think about a four level pyramid. First we have a base, this is where we start to imagine our dreams, where we start formulating our ideas for what our life will be like. We think about life socially, economically, educationally, about family life, as well as our life in the workplace.
Followed by the base, we have the body of the pyramid. This is the place where we start to draw out the dreams that we have formulated in our base. It is the beginning of the road where our dreams start to become a reality. Our areas socially, economically, educationally, with our family, as well as in our work place start to feel real.
Subsequently, we have the head of the pyramid. The head is the place where everything starts to be top of our life. Little by little, our life is changing and improving. The beginning of the road is now the middle of the road where we are seeing the reality of what our life is becoming. This is the area where we integrate all of our phases in life and they are moving in the right direction.
Finally, we have the summit. The summit is the top of every feature, the level that we should all aspire to be. It is very tough to reach the summit of the pyramid, but you must know you want to reach it. When you reach the summit, your life is shaped as you want it to be shaped or simply the process of going that way and growing in all aspects will make you a better individual.
For SIU, the summit means the top that we should all aspire to reach. It is the goal, the dream of what we want our life to be like. Just like the pyramid, our life is made up of levels that we seek. Every day is an opportunity to be a better person and to reach our summit, to make our dreams a reality so we can make a positive impact in our family and society in general.
Our mission is to be a one of a kind learning institution concerned about generating educational alternatives that will lead to a more efficient individual; empowering learners and helping them take advantage of the enormous array of available resources in order to eliminate the current range of unawareness, obsoleteness and limitations.
Our Vision is the empowerment of the human race towards the individual's achievement of self initiative and control.

SIU's online distance
learning university diploma program fits my life because...
During President Barack
Obama's address to Congress on February 24th 2009, a challenge
was set fourth to each and every one of us, both students and
educators alike. Simply put, we can not sustain the current drop
out rates and hope to remain competitive. SIU seeks not only
to meet this challenge domestically by lowering the barriers to
education but also in the international level by making our programs
available everywhere there is a willing mind and an Internet connection.
The typical obstacles of time, distance and money are eliminated
or greatly reduced falling in line with the challenge requested
by our president. Students we call upon your hard work, commitment
and dedication as you are the most vital component in meeting
this challenge. Whether with SIU University or elsewhere put
your education first as it will enhance no only your personal
opportunities but those you will be able to afford and make available
to your family, community, your country and the world. We welcome
you to SIU University and are happy to be a part of your future
prosperity.
