Northeastern Illinois University is a fully-accredited, comprehensive state university. It attracts students from more than 40 countries around the world. In fact, our university is consistently listed as the most ethnically diverse university in the Midwestern United States. Located in the city of Chicago, America’s third largest city which boasts a 30% Latino population, Northeastern is the only public university in Chicagoland to be federally-designated by the US Government as a Hispanic Serving Institution. Despite its urban surroundings, however, our 67-acre main campus in northwestern Chicago is a welcoming oasis to the nearly 12,000 commuter students who attend. Ask about one of our more than 80 undergraduate and graduate programs housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Management, and the College of Education. Northeastern Illinois University is committed to providing an affordable education, which is why Northeastern ranked sixth in the entire United States for “Best Investment” in Newsweek’s annual edition of “College Rankings 2012”.
