U of I is located in the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana, about 140 miles south of Chicago. The 1,783-acre campus features more than 350 buildings, including several on the National Register of Historic Places. At Lincoln Hall and Engineering Hall you’ll see some of the school’s Renaissance Revival architecture, while Altgeld Hall is considered one of the finest examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture.

Question
What are the online learning and extension/adult learning opportunities?

The university aims to provide online programs that deliver the same quality education as campus-based classes. Some classes utilize real-time technology in which all participants log in at a designated time. Others can be completed on a flexible schedule. Similarly, some classes require at least one on-campus meeting per semester; others rely solely on distance education.
