University of Illinois

President Stanley O. Ikenberry

Welcome


Welcome to the University of Illinois, the state’s preeminent higher education institution with campuses in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield and one of the world’s great centers of learning and discovery. I invite you to explore the individual campus websites as well as this website, which provides information about centralized administrative services within the university that are vital to supporting the primary missions of the institution.

Each campus has distinctive strengths that reflect its history and location. Urbana is known for science, agriculture, engineering and interdisciplinary research. The Chicago campus is a research leader in medicine, the health professions and urban affairs, and it is internationally known for its Great Cities Commitment. The Springfield campus leverages its location in the state’s capital to be a leader in public policy, political and media research.

In addition to our three campuses, the University has programs and facilities in Peoria, Rockford and the Quad Cities area. The University provides services to citizens throughout the state. The University of Illinois Medical Center provides significant medical resources to many patients from underserved communities in Chicago.

Each year, the University of Illinois educates more than 71,000 students in more than 600 degree programs and graduates more than 18,500. Alumni – more than 600,000 strong and most of them Illinois residents – contribute to the prosperity of the state of Illinois and enrich our quality of life.

With outstanding programs for learning, research and service, the University of Illinois is a vital partner in the future of the state of Illinois.
