What the School Says...

A private university chartered in 1890, the University of Chicago has a longstanding reputation as one of the world's great intellectual communities -- and for placing undergraduates at the center of it.

Chicago's Core curriculum, one of the nation's oldest, is almost alone in offering undergraduates a systematic study of the arts and sciences, in partnership with a liberal arts faculty of more than 1,000.
