  • Small Class Sizes: Students always benefit when they get to know their professors. In classes with a smaller student-to-faculty ratio, individual attention provides the opportunity to establish lasting connections with their professors. Asking questions, expressing opinions and engaging in open discussions with professors and classmates are strongly encouraged and promote a higher level of learning.
  • Career Preparation: Connecting students to nearly 1,000 internships each year, UIC's professional development program, Career Accelerator, is designed to help students build a successful career and establish the global network you need to succeed in your specific industry. Through the Career Accelerator, students will develop their professional skills and gain a strong understanding of how their knowledge, interests, motivations and personal experiences gives them a unique advantage in today’s competitive job market.
  • Higher Average of Salary for UIC Graduates: The job market in the city of Chicago continues to grow. In the past seven years, the total number of private-sector, unemployment-insurance-covered jobs in Chicago grew by nearly 17 percent. The total number of jobs in the downtown area alone increased by nearly a quarter, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security. Best of all, students at UIC are benefiting from this historic growth spurt. UIC graduates earn nearly 50 percent more than the average U.S. salary for students who have attended college.
