Message from University of Illinois Springfield

The University of Illinois Springfield offers some really unique opportunities that help you get the most out of your college experience. You’ll earn a prestigious U of I degree while enjoying the personalized experience of a smaller school. With average class sizes of just 15 students, no huge lecture halls, and professors teaching every class, you’ll get a more interactive and supportive education. What makes this such a great deal? Since UIS is a public university, you’ll get the benefits of a public school—like affordable tuition and scholarships—while still getting the attention and resources of a smaller private school. In fact, our students graduate with some of the lowest loan debt in the Midwest! We’d love to connect and help you learn more about how UIS could be a great fit for you!
