Graduate study is offered in more than 150 disciplines, and enrollment includes 9,000 graduate and professional students from every state and from 100 foreign countries.
Academic resources are among the finest in the world.
Along with Harvard and Yale, the University Library ranks among the three largest academic collections in the nation. Its computerized catalog provides easy access to more than 11 million items housed in the Main Library and thirty-eight departmental libraries campus wide. Although the University of Illinois is large, with a student population of close to 35,000, the Department has a relatively small enrollment of approximately 100 undergraduate students and 30 graduate students with 13 full-time faculty members and several associated faculty from other programs. The program is large enough that a diversity of courses can be offered but small enough that students and faculty can know each other on a personal basis. The academic and cultural opportunities available to students are excellent and diversified.
