Graduate Application

A message from the Dean of the Graduate College

The Graduate College at the University of Illinois at Chicago is dedicated to a simple

idea: bringing together superb students with outstanding research faculty in a diverse

and stimulating urban environment.



There has never been a more exciting time to pursue advanced study. New fields of

learning and new approaches in traditional fields are providing today’s graduate

students with ideas, skills, and disciplines to shape the world around them.



UIC's 6000 graduate students are enrolled in nearly fifty PhD programs and over

eighty masters programs, spanning the range of Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Life

Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering. UIC has many advantages to offer:

nationally ranked programs, award-winning faculty, and the most diverse graduate

student body among the nation's leading research universities - all within the heart of

metropolitan Chicago. UIC may justly claim to be a model for the research universities

of the new century.



I invite you to make it your home.
