We evaluate students based upon a combination of coursework, test scores, class rank and a personal statement. Requirements vary with each college and curriculum. This is why we use coursework, test scores, class rank and a personal statement in the application process. The combination of such criteria allows us to view the complete package for each student. Approximately 10 percent of our undergraduates are nonresidents.
Students feel very comfortable on our campus.
We educate students in crime prevention and take a proactive stance toward a secure campus. We have a University Police Department that works with both the Champaign and Urbana Police Departments. Emergency phones are located throughout campus along with escort services and evening ride programs. Approximately 25-30 percent of all undergraduate courses are taught by graduate students, many of whom are in the last phase of doctoral studies. Many faculty are involved in teaching along with research and bring a combination of both experiences to the classroom.
