Chicago Studies supports academically rich collaborations between students, faculty and external partners to leverage Chicago as an illuminating locus for study.  In so doing, we distinguish the College as a premiere space for place-based, interdisciplinary urban studies nationwide.

As part of the Office of Teaching and Research Innovations in the College Dean's Office, Chicago Studies serves as a resourcing platform and networking space for course instructors who are interested in teaching about and with the city.  We offer an interdisciplinary cross-listing to help students find Chicago classes, course- and undergraduate research-related grants, pedagogical consulting and support for course-based experiential learning, para-curricular courses and events to promote and complement Chicago-focused classes, and help create opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration around Chicago themes.
