THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS SYSTEM is among the preeminent public university systems in the nation and the largest comprehensive system of higher education in Illinois.

Composed principally of its three best-in-class universities in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield, the U of I System is a powerhouse for education and discovery, and widely recognized as among the most innovative university systems in the world.

The U of I System boasts leading graduate and doctoral research centers, two medical schools, two law schools, world-class engineering and business colleges, top liberal arts colleges, an urban hospital system, regional health science campuses, and educational programs available to residents of all 102 Illinois counties.

In addition to its academic, research, public engagement, and healthcare missions, the U of I System is leading economic development efforts in the state of Illinois through unique partnerships such as the Illinois Innovation Network and the Discovery Partners Institute.
