Chicago Campus

One College, Two Campuses, Unlimited Opportunities

Urban, diverse, dynamic, and fast-paced, the College’s Chicago campus is set in the heart of the Illinois Medical District, about two miles west of the city’s central business district and less than one mile from UIC’s East campus.

Public transportation makes it easy to live in Chicago without a car, and nearby areas such as Taylor Street and Little Italy offer many dining options.

In addition to the educational and clinical opportunities offered through the University of Illinois Hospital, the College focuses on its mission to serve society by interacting with Chicago-area communities through patient-oriented service projects, education, and research. The College reflects the multi-cultural composition of its host city as well as the patients it serves.
