Unique/Special ProgramsTOP
Illinois Institute of Technology is in its 108th year as a private, PhD granting research university located in Chicago, Illinois. IIT's mission is to educate individuals for complex professional roles in a changing world and to advance knowledge through research and scholarship. The guiding principle of the university is that a modern, innovative education for students expecting to enter complex professional roles is only possible with a faculty that both maintains close ties to the technical professions and has an outstanding reputation in academic research.

The university is committed to the educational ideal of small undergraduate classes and individual mentoring. Its unique Introduction to the Professions brings students and senior faculty members together each week in small groups, where students interact with their advisers as both teachers and mentors. Throughout the curricula, the IIT interprofessional projects provide a learning environment in which interdisciplinary teams of students apply theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom and laboratory to real-world projects sponsored by industry and government. IIT seeks to offer an educational experience that is second to none.
