A Global Education with Impact
IC3 Conference and Expo in Mumbai
Illinois Tech was founded more than 130 years ago to educate students from all backgrounds to advance technology and innovation—and we remain as dedicated to this mission today as we were in 1890.
As the only tech-focused university in the global metropolis of Chicago and a nationally ranked university, Illinois Tech is uniquely positioned to offer students a world-class education. Our students apply what they learn in the classroom within the living lab of Chicago—a real-world setting with infinite possibilities. Chicago is also a gateway to internship, networking, and career opportunities.
Our one-of-a-kind Elevate program guarantees that all students take part in hands-on experiences—such as internships, research, competitions, short courses, and study away—as well as receive personalized academic and career mentorship, all of which lead to career and OPT readiness.
Illinois Tech’s future-focused Tech+ program allows students to combine majors, integrate tech-focused coursework, and forge meaningful career paths in a four-year degree. And because technology is infused throughout all of our programs, students gain the advanced skills that companies value most.
The payoff for our graduates says it all: with job-placement rates above 90 percent and starting salaries well above the national average, Illinois Tech graduates receive among the best returns on investment in Illinois and in the United States.

Plus is More—and More is Better
When it comes to your future, the math is simple: one major of your interest + another area of your interest = an education that is tailor made for career success.
At Illinois Tech, opportunities to marry multiple interests in industry-aligned areas through our Tech+ program help prepare students to succeed in an ever-changing, technology-driven society.
The tech-driven, multidisciplinary Tech+ program allows you to combine two majors into one to create a single, four-year undergraduate degree that integrates relevant, tech-focused coursework with a human-centered education to create meaningful pathways into careers.
Here is a sampling of Tech+ programs, all of which will be available beginning in fall 2023:
- B.S. Business and Engineering
- B.S. Business and Psychology
