University of Chicago is a private research university that focuses on sciences, medicine, economics, law, business, and others. In addition to providing a dynamic education based on critical thinking and interdisciplinary exposure, the university sponsors hundreds of art and cultural events open to the public free of charge. Venues such as the Court Theatre, the Oriental Institute, and the Smart Museum often host these events for local residents and students. The university’s retail development initiatives also help strengthen the economic health of the city.

Academics include more than 50 areas of specialized undergraduate and graduate study, including some interdisciplinary programs like Big Problems, which tackles matters of global and universal concern that do not belong to one discipline or interest group, scientific fields like Biological Chemistry, and more.

Experiential programs known as “Chicago Careers In” provide students with research, internships, and advising in fields like business and health professions.
