University of Illinois at Springfield
The University of Illinois at Springfield (UIS) is a liberal arts university in Springfield, Illinois. The University was established in 1969 as Sangamon State University by the Illinois General Assembly and became a part of the University of Illinois system on July 1, 1995.
The University of Illinois at Springfield serves almost 5,000 students in 21 undergraduate programs, 20 master’s programs, and a doctorate in Public Administration. The university was once one of the two upper-division and graduate universities in Illinois, but now accepts freshmen, transfer and graduate students.
UIS is a Tier 1 institution and the fourth best public master’s university in the Midwest according to the 2009 Edition of America’s Best Colleges by U.S. News and World Report. The report also notes that UIS students graduate with the third smallest debt load of all universities in their category. The Master’s category includes colleges and universities that provide a full range of undergraduate and master’s programs but only a few, if any, doctoral programs.
UIS faculty members are talented researchers and scholars and our courses are grounded in direct faculty-student interaction with opportunities for scholarship, research, and pre-professional practical experiences.
