About UIC Business

Founded in 1965, UIC Business has grown from a small college with three programs into a top-ranked, research-based business school with an international reputation. Located at the doorstep of Chicago’s financial district, our school combines the resources of a major public research university with deep connections to the city’s vibrant business community.

Today, UIC Business houses six academic departments and nearly 150 faculty members. Our UIC Business Liautaud Graduate School, established in 2003 thanks to the generosity of the Liautaud family of Chicago, serves over 1,000 graduate students through seven specialized master’s programs, including our flexible MBA.

Our diverse student body and faculty reflect both Chicago’s character — hardworking, grounded and resourceful — and the global business community. With a network of over 52,000 alumni, UIC Business continues to evolve to meet the changing demands of business while maintaining our commitment to accessibility, innovation and excellence.

As Chicago’s only public research university, we deliver a high-value business education that prepares students to become future business leaders who make positive contributions to organizations and communities worldwide.
