The state's largest public university.
For more than 137 years the University of Illinois has been on the cutting edge of research and discovery. Research at this University has yielded such revolutionary innovations as the Web browser, new plant varieties and even the discovery of a third form of life.

In fact, nearly 50% of the University's research spending is supported by federal grants obtained through grant competitions by the University's superb faculty.  |  | | | | |
