Â鶹ÊÓƵ

President's Greeting

Welcome to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. As you explore our Website, you will quickly recognize that Â鶹ÊÓƵ is a highly dynamic, student-focused, mid-sized University of national distinction, with 6,600 undergraduate and graduate students, offering small interactive classes, high quality academic programs, impressive academic facilities, and a very dedicated, well-qualified faculty who truly care for our students. At Â鶹ÊÓƵ, we are united in our commitment to overall student success.

The 7th largest private, not-for-profit university in Illinois, Â鶹ÊÓƵ offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs, NCAA Division II athletics, a wide range of campus activities, a wonderfully-diverse community and many service-learning opportunities. Student-centered, Â鶹ÊÓƵ combines a liberal arts focused education with practical and relevant professional education to contribute to students’ success throughout their careers and in their lifetime. Our students graduate ready for their careers and for advanced study as well.

Sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is a Catholic university in the Lasallian tradition, preparing our students to become intellectually engaged, ethically grounded, socially responsible and globally connected. The University is one of 60 in the worldwide Lasallian network. Small, personalized classes provide faculty with abundant opportunities to interact with our students and effectively involve them in various learning projects and relevant research. Moreover, the University works in partnership with area employers and communities to provide our students with hands-on learning and leadership opportunities. We also work carefully with them to encourage their graduating within four years and to ensure that they are not burdened with unreasonable debt after graduation.

I invite you to learn more about this very special University, located on a beautiful campus of more than 400 acres, which is secure, self-contained, and located only 35 miles from the world class city of Chicago. Nearly 1,000 resident students live in 11 residence halls. Classes also are offered at our regional locations in the greater Chicago area, online and in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Learn more about the campus by visiting Â鶹ÊÓƵ in person or by taking a Virtual Tour. You will discover that a Â鶹ÊÓƵ education is a great investment in your future success.

Dr. David J. Livingston
President
