About The Global Campus

The University of Illinois established The Global Campus to further its land-grant mission to expand educational opportunities for the Illinois community and beyond. One of the finest public universities in the nation has opened a new online campus to non-traditional and place-bound students, who can gain the academic and career benefits of a University of Illinois education without the barriers of location and scheduled class times.

The Global Campus intends to become a national leader in online education, focused on innovation, quality, superior instruction, service, and accessibility. Our goal is to provide access to high-quality online education programs that merit the University of Illinois name. All degree and certificate programs are created in collaboration with the colleges and academic departments at the University's residential campuses at Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield. The curricula are developed by world-class University of Illinois faculty who are leaders in their fields of study. Upon completion of a program, you will earn a degree from the fully accredited University of Illinois.

The Global Campus supports a wide range of e-learning and continuing education initiatives across the University. Our mission and vision, as approved by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees, serves the University by supporting its mission to transform lives and serve society by educating, creating knowledge, and putting knowledge to work on a large scale and with excellence.

The Global Campus recognizes the successes of several current online education and continuing education initiatives across the University and joins the University staff and administration who support such programs in serving a diverse student population. These efforts highlight a University-wide recognition of the opportunities and advantages of online education.
