We're a big campus -- Big 10, to be exact -- with more than $640 million spent on research and development in a typical year.  We have 15 schools and colleges, including our internationally known Grainger College of Engineering, where Illinois Computer Science resides. This substantial breadth offers many opportunities for CS graduate students to conduct collaborative groundbreaking research that can not only impact computing, but medicine, business, the arts, media, or whatever defines your research and passion.  Together, we can do the impossible every day.
