An educational ideal Focused on careful reading, analytical writing, and critical thinking, UChicago’s Core Curriculum is the perfect foundation for any major—and all future endeavors. With more than 50 majors and 40+ minors, students can double-major, create their own major, or explore interdisciplinary oppor- tunities. Students choose their electives from more than 3,000 courses offered through the under- graduate College each year, and over 40% of stu- dents study abroad through nearly 60 programs designed and taught by our faculty.


Campus life The residential housing system is a vital element of the College community. Modeled after the Brit- ish house system, our 39 College houses eat to- gether at shared dining tables, explore Chicago at sporting and cultural events, and compete against each other in intramural sports. Each stu- dent is guaranteed housing for four years, and though it’s only required for first- and second-year students, many stay to enjoy the houses’ perennial traditions.


Undergraduates actively participate in more


than 400 student organizations encompassing athletics, the arts, community service, and Greek life. Our varsity teams compete at the NCAA Divi- sion III level, and more than 70% of the student body participates in UChicago’s extensive intra- mural and club sports programs.
