The University of Illinois is the state's best and most comprehensive public university. We are a family of three distinct campuses — Chicago, Springfield and Urbana-Champaign — serving the people of Illinois through a shared commitment to our missions of excellence in teaching, research, public service and economic development.
Our campuses attract the nation's most talented students with hundreds of undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, many of them ranked among the best in the United States. We are also the state's largest educator. Right now nearly 70,000 students are enrolled at our campuses and thousands more take classes off campus and online.
The University of Illinois is a world leader in research and discovery. Our internationally renowned faculty win more federal research dollars than all other public Illinois universities and colleges combined, resulting in priceless new knowledge and life-changing breakthroughs in medicine, agriculture and technology.
We are a university that belongs to the people of Illinois. Our faculty, staff and students share their knowledge and expertise and the resources of the University with citizens in every corner of the state through more than 700 public service and outreach programs.
The University also has an impressive impact on the state's economy. Our very operation means billions in direct spending in Illinois and full-time employment for more than 23,000. And the increased earning power of hundreds of thousands of alumni living in Illinois results in additional tax revenue for our state.
Faculty
Number of Faculty Staff FTE: 4,875
Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.
