 | | The largest university in the Chicago area, UIC has 25,000 students, 15 colleges, including the nation’s largest medical school, and annual research expenditures exceeding $290 million. |
 | | The modern UIC was formed in 1982 by the consolidation of two U. of I. campuses: the Medical Center campus, which dates back to the nineteenth century; and the comprehensive Chicago Circle campus, which in 1965 replaced the two-year undergraduate Navy Pier campus designated to educate returning veterans. |
 | | Another campus is University of Illinois at Springfield, formerly Sangamon State University from 1969 till June 30, 1995. |
