What is the Guaranteed Professional Program Admissions Initiative?

The GPPA program allows a limited number of freshmen per year to be admitted to UIC with guaranteed admission to one of several professional degree programs. Students follow a specific curriculum and meet established performance criteria to maintain guaranteed admission.

With the security of GPPA, students are able to focus on undergraduate studies and have the freedom to pursue many subject areas and disciplines. In addition, participants have early and frequent contact with professional school faculty and advisors. Most students in GPPA also benefit from the facilities and services of the UIC Honors College.

GPPA admissions decision for Fall 2012 applicants for all programs will be sent via email and paper mail on Monday, April 2, 2012!!  

For questions about GPPA, please contact our GPPA Undergraduate Coordinator, Josephine Volpe, at 312-355-3407 or jvolpe@uic.edu.
