Illinois Institute of Technology is a national, technological,
Ph.D.-granting research university, with world-renowned programs in
engineering, architecture, the sciences, humanities, psychology,
business, law, and design. Founded in 1940 and tracing its roots back to
the 1890s with the foundings of Armour Institute of Technology and
Lewis Institute, IIT brings a focused, interdisciplinary approach to
education, including the Interprofessional Projects Program. With five
campuses throughout the Chicago area and alumni around the world, IIT
pairs the educational and cultural experiences of America's Second City
with the small feel of an undergraduate population of just over 2300 and
total population of just over 7400.
Fulltime international
students applying to Professional Master's Programs who have
exceptionally strong academic records may be eligible for one of a
limited number of one-year, half-tuition academic scholarships. Full
time students applying to M.S. and Ph.D. programs may qualify for
fellowships, scholarships, and assistantships. You will be considered
automatically for scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships at the
time the admission decision is made — as long as you apply by the
funding deadline listed on the admission application. Further
information about scholarships for graduate students can be found on the
Graduate Admission website.

-----------------
In 1994, the National Commission on IIT considered leaving the Mies Main Campus and moving to the Chicago suburbs. Construction of a veritable wall of Chicago Housing Authority high-rises replaced virtually all of IIT's neighbors in the 1950s and 1960s, a well-meaning but flawed attempt to improve conditions in an economically declining portion of the city. The closest high-rise, Stateway Gardens, was located just south of the IIT campus boundary, the last building of which was demolished in 2006. But the Dearborn Homes to the immediate north of campus still remain. The past decade has seen a redevelopment of Stateway Gardens into a new, mixed-income neighborhood dubbed Park Boulevard; the completion of the new central station of the Chicago Police Department a block east of the campus; and major commercial development at Roosevelt Road, just north of the campus, and residential development as close as Michigan Avenue on the east boundary of the school.
Bolstered by a $120 million gift in the mid-1990s from IIT alumnus Robert Pritzker, former chairman of IIT's Board of Trustees, and Robert Galvin, former chairman of the board and former Motorola executive, the university has benefited from a revitalization. The first new buildings on Main Campus since the "completion" of the Mies Campus in the early 1970s were finished in 2003—Rem Koolhaas's McCormick Tribune Campus Center and Helmut Jahn's State Street Village. S.R. Crown Hall, a National Historic Landmark, saw renovation in 2005 and the renovation of Wishnick Hall was completed in 2007. Undergraduate enrollment has breached 2,500.[1] To further boost their focus on biotechnology and the melding of business and technology, University Technology Park At IIT, an expansive research park, has been developed by remodeling former Institute of Gas Technology and research buildings on the south end of Main Campus.
