- For every dollar the State of Illinois spends on the
University, the three campuses generated more than $17 into the State
economy.
- The UIC Medical Center is the State’s largest public
healthcare facility.
- UIC is the principal educator of Illinois’
physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and other healthcare
professionals.
