Southeast offers certificate programs, a diploma in early childhood education and first-year university programs in education, pre-social work, health sciences and the liberal arts. Southeast College provides continuing education in agriculture, business, computers and truck driver training.

Southeast is now a designated learning institution for international students and select programs are eligible for international student admissions. The college has campuses in Assiniboia, Estevan, Moosomin, Weyburn, Indian Head and Whitewood. The Estevan campus has a 44,000-square-foot facility with three specialized labs, a state-of-the-art confined-space simulator and a fall-arrest simulator, designed to prepare students for work-and-rescue scenarios, as well as a 44- foot-long mobile training classroom.

Southeast College is one of seven colleges in Saskatchewan that offer courses created by other educational providers in the country. The school also participates in Healthy Campus Saskatchewan, a community that advocates for the health and well-being of post-secondary students in the province.
