Undergraduate
The University of Chicago undergraduate college experience is defined by a culture of inquiry, discussion, and exploration. International students drive the diversity of our community and create conversations that power rigorous inquiry for our intellectual community. International students comprise 15% of the University community and come from over 100 countries around the world. At UChicago, we are looking for academically talented, intellectually curious international students to come to a world-renowned campus in a global city to share their perspectives and join in the conversation.
Prospective undergraduate students can learn more about admissions and aid at our Global Engagement webpage for International Students. For online, summer and non-degree programs, please visit the main UChicago Admissions & Aid page
Specific enquiries can be directed to Daniel Urbina-McCarthy at internationaladmissions@uchicago.edu.

Living in Hyde Park
