Colleges and Universities in Illinois

When people think of colleges in Illinois, Chicago is often the first location that comes to mind—and for good reason. The city’s combination of urban living, natural beauty, and cultural diversity draws students from all over the country and the world. In addition to its famous skyscrapers, museums, and institutions of higher learning, the city offers students the opportunity to enjoy lakeside beaches, hundreds of parks, and thousands of restaurants. But there’s more to the state than “the Windy City.” The many universities and colleges in Illinois that aren’t located in Chicago also offer programs in almost every field imaginable, making the Prairie State a great place to earn a degree and launch a career.
