Series Description

Chicago, Communication, and Culture
Special Summer Language and Culture Program

Come to Chicago for a fun and exciting learning experience in our beautiful city!

Chicago, Communication, and Culture is a three-week educational program designed for visitors to Chicago who want to explore the city and improve their English.

Participants in the program will improve their vocabulary, listening, and conversation skills through topics about Chicago's unique culture and history, such as

  • Chicago in Film
  • Chicago Politics: Vote Early and Often
  • Chicago Architecture
  • Chicago Blues and Jazz
  • Immigration and Industry in Chicago
  • Chicago's Ethnic Neighborhoods
  • Chicago's Sports Teams: Da Bears, Da Bulls, and Da Cubs

The program includes 12 hours of classroom study each week on our UIC campus. Guided visits and tours to Chicago's most popular events and attractions complete the learning experience. Optional weekend excursions can be arranged through our office.

The program is designed for students with a basic knowledge of English who are interested in building on their skills. Students must be at least 19 years old.

The program is open to students who

  • are visitors to the US and hold a B-1 or B-2 (tourist) visa,
  • have entered the United States on a visa waiver,
  • have an F-1 visa and who wish to enrich their summer break with additional study, or
  • are US citizens or residents,
  • are 19 years or older.

Please note that this program is non-intensive--it offers 12 class hours per week and does not qualify as full-time study.
