Study Chicago

For students across disciplines, the city of Chicago offers an ideal classroom for investigation and discovery. With Chicago Studies, the College seeks to make possible intensive academic and experiential encounters with Chicago.

The Chicago Studies program offers:

• Courses that bring the city directly into the curriculum.
• Faculty with research interests that engage directly with Chicago.
• Programs and events to connect with the city’s communities, its leaders, its past, present, and future.
• The Chicago Studies Annual Journal that provides an opportunity for College students to publish original research.

“Many students study the culture and history of cities in our Civilization Abroad courses, which is wonderful, but it’s incredibly important that our students have just as many opportunities to understand and enjoy their home city, Chicago.” — Dean John Boyer

Through Chicago Studies, ‘the Life of the Mind’ encounters the rich vibrancy of ‘the City that Works.’
