The UPA website is designed to answer your questions but please contact the UPA program with any additional questions. Prospective students are welcome to visit the UPA program if they are in Chicago. UPA staff will assist in arranging visits to classes in session, meetings with current students, and attendance at UPA and CUPPA events during your visit. Personal appointments for information about our degree program can be arranged by contacting Danielle Cheatom, UPA Program Coordinator, at dcheat2@uic.edu or (312) 413-2565.
