world-class academic opportunities to a robust city. Peoria is home to
downstate Illinois’ largest medical campus.
COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
The UIC College of Medicine Peoria (COMP) opened its doors in 1970
and is one of four campuses that make up the nation’s largest public
medical school. The Peoria campus is known among students for its small
class sizes, rigorous curriculum and hands-on clerkships; to residents
and fellows for the strong academic setting, large referral base and
exceptional facilities; and by physicians seeking the ideal combination of
teaching and practicing medicine in a research-based university setting.
COMP offers a MD degree, and other opportunities in Graduate Medical
Education (MDE) and Continuing Medical Education (CME).
COLLEGE OF NURSING
The UIC College of Nursing Peoria was established in 1974. The
regional program offers a Master of Science (MS) degree as well as
the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP). At the graduate level, many
courses are delivered online and via videoconference with other College
of Nursing regional locations. The Peoria Regional Campus offers
unique opportunities for vital interprofessional collaboration in teaching,
education and research with the UIC College of Medicine Peoria.
LIBRARY OF THE HEALTH SCIENCES
The Library of the Health Sciences-Peoria collaborates with the
Colleges of Medicine and Nursing to meet the information needs of
students, residents, faculty, staff and researchers affiliated with the
university, as well as members of the community.
QUAD CITIES
REGIONAL CAMPUS
The area often referred to as the Quad Cities includes Moline, East
Moline, and Rock Island in Illinois and Davenport and Bettendorf in
Iowa. The five communities are located near the confluence of the Rock
River and the Mississippi River. The Quad Cities Regional Campus
offers a beautiful, small-town setting in which to earn a nationally ranked
graduate degree.
COLLEGE OF NURSING
The UIC College of Nursing Quad Cities, established in 1980, offers
a Master of Sciences (MS) degree as well as the Doctor of Nursing
Practice (DNP). The majority of Quad Cities students are from the
surrounding counties, with nearly 80% of graduates serving the local
community. Due to a unique regional partnership, students who live in
Iowa or Illinois pay the same in-state tuition so that nurses from either
side of the river can choose UIC Nursing for their next degree. The
College of Nursing at the Quad Cities Regional campus also enjoys
robust relationships with healthcare partners in both Illinois and Iowa,
giving students a range of clinical experiences, never too far from home.
ROCKFORD
REGIONAL CAMPUS
Located on the east and west side of the Rock
River 80 miles northwest of Chicago, the Rockford

programs that work in partnership with local hospitals
and healthcare organizations to provide medical

(UICOMR) has focused on building an academic
medical institution committed to education and
advocacy, dedicated to research and continuous
innovation, and centered on clinical service in the
surrounding communities.
One of the largest public medical schools in

community-based medical training to medical
students, residents, and fellows. Unique programs

1992. The nursing regional site offers access to
a wide variety of graduate programs in diverse
specialties. In addition to a Master of Science (MS)

in Rockford is the Rural Nursing program, which
prepares DNP graduates to practice in rural settings,
promoting the health of patients and communities
through partnerships in education, service, research,
and policy.
The program is able to engage in distance learning
and participate in classes in Chicago through
teleconferencing technology that brings students
together across all of five UIC campuses. Classes
are offered in a variety of formats – in person,
videoconference, and online. Clinical experiences
of the highest caliber are arranged and supervised
by faculty at locations in and around the Rockford
region.
COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
In a direct response to the continuing shortage of
pharmacists in Illinois, the UIC College of Pharmacy
created its Rockford regional program. The first class
of students was admitted in 2010. Students complete
four years of pharmacy education on the Rockford
regional campus and clerkship sites throughout the
state.
Students in the Rockford program complete all of
the same coursework as students on the UIC –
Chicago West Campus. Lectures are live and taught
via state-of-the-art broadcast learning from both
campuses. Students on the Rockford campus have
ample opportunities to pursue extracurricular and
leadership roles, as well as participate in research,
clinical and service-based hands-on learning. In
addition to the College’s close ties to the University
of Illinois College of Medicine and College of Nursing
at Rockford, the city of Rockford is home to a variety
of community pharmacies and health systems where
students gain excellent experiences. Students may
obtain the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, MS
or PhD degrees, or a joint degree at the Rockford
Regional Campus. Students interested in a career
in rural pharmacy can choose to be admitted to the
Rural Pharmacy Program (RPHARM); the goal of the

the unique challenges and opportunities present in
rural communities.
