Skills for a lifetime
When you study in our department, you gain a new perspective on the world that will serve you not only in your chosen profession, but beyond as you work and live in our global community. The skills gained here will enrich your lives and be a guide to you well beyond your college career. We feel it's important to not only teach you what we know, but to teach you how to learn and to apply that knowledge in your life. At Illinois we believe that our graduates should be students of life and students of the world, not just the area they chose to study during their time here.
World class faculty and facilities
Our department is full of faculty that have spent years becoming experts in their subject areas and who are abreast of the latest developments in the area. When you learn from them, you are learning from active people, embedded in the heart of the discipline and in many cases driving new discoveries and insights. Our facilities are second to none and our campus is an inviting place with many opportunities for you to explore your interests both in and out of the classroom.
