Chicago
The University of Illinois at Chicago
(UIC), one of only 88 Carnegie level-one research
universities in the nation, is the largest institution
of higher learning in the Chicago area. The Department
of Psychology at UIC is rated in the top 50 in the
country in research productivity. In addition to a
comprehensive catalogue of undergraduate courses, the
department supports 5 graduate programs. There are over
30 faculty members in a department that is highly
successful in attracting external funding including
training grants. In recent years, our level of
extramural funding (which provides support for
state-of-the-art laboratories and research opportunities
for undergraduate and graduate students) typically
exceeds $2.5 million per annum. The campus is located
minutes away from downtown Chicago, offering all the
benefits and excitement of a major metropolitan
area.
