School Description
Provided by Illinois Institute of Technology-ChicagoIn 1890, when advanced education was often reserved for society's elite, Chicago minister Frank Gunsaulus delivered what came to be known as the "Million Dollar Sermon." From the pulpit of his South Side church, near the site Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) now occupies, Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he would build a school where students of all backgrounds could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing industrial society.
Our mission is to advance knowledge through research and scholarship, to cultivate invention improving the human condition, and to educate students from throughout the world for a life of professional achievement, service to society, and individual fulfillment.
IIT has more than 38,000 living alumni and is known as the alma mater of accomplishments as well as of people. IIT and IITRI scientists and engineers have made some of the century's most important technological advances, such as the invention of magnetic recording and the development of re-entry technology for spacecraft. IIT architects have shaped the skyline of Chicago and cities throughout the world.
The state-of-the-art, 10-story Downtown Campus at 565 West Adams Street houses Chicago-Kent College of Law, the Center for Law & Financial Markets, the Master of Public Administration Program, and the Stuart School of Business.
Illinois Institute of Technology-Chicago
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaIllinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is a private Ph.D.-granting university located in Chicago, Illinois, with programs in engineering, science, psychology, architecture, business, communications, industrial technology, information technology, design, and law. It is a member of the Association of Independent Technological Universities, a group that includes Caltech, Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, and RPI. It was formed in 1940 by the merger of Armour Institute of Technology (founded in 1893) and Lewis Institute (founded in 1895).
History
Armour Institute of Technology
The Armour Institute of Technology, a predecessor to IIT, was founded in 1893 with a gift from Philip Danforth Armour, Sr., a prominent Chicago meat packer and grain merchant. Armour had heard Chicago minister Frank W. Gunsaulus say that with a million dollars he would build a school that would be open to students of all backgrounds instead of just the elite. After the sermon, Armour approached Gunsaulus and asked if he was serious about his claim. When Gunsaulus said yes, Armour told him that if he came by his office in the morning, he would give him the million dollars. Armour also stipulated that Gunsaulus become the first president of the school, and Gunsaulus served as president of Armour Tech from its founding in 1893 until his death in 1921. Gunsaulus's sermon thus became known as the "Million Dollar Sermon".
Centered at 33rd Street and Armour Avenue (now Federal Street), Armour Institute of Technology shared the neighborhood now known as Bronzeville with many historic places: Comiskey Park was a few blocks away, west of what is now the Dan Ryan Expressway; the land used to expand the campus in the 1940s through 1970s was home to many of Chicago's old famous jazz and blues clubs, with performers like Louis Armstrong highlighting the neighborhood; and, as evidenced by the affluent church where Gunsaulus ministered and the Armour family attended, some of Chicago's most influential members frequented the area.

Question: Which one is better for computer science ? Illinois Institute of Technology or UIUC?Which one is better for computer science ? Illinois Institute of Technology or University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I'm planning to transfer to a university to learn CS. I live in Chicago now. It's hard for me to make a choice. Can anyone help me please? Give me any suggestions . Thank u!!!! just consider computer science major please. I saw that UIUC was ranked higher than IIT, but my friends told me IIT is very good even not so famous. I'm kind of confused. Please help me out!!!10 months ago
Best AnswerIIT is the place to go. People are thrown jobs after graduating from there. Three of my relatives graduated from there, all of whom are now making six figures. Definitely IIT. |
Question: which school is better for Architecture University of Illinois at Chicago or Illinois institute of Technology?Please explain why10 months ago
Best AnswerThere are pros and cons to both programs. Of course I am partial to IIT because I graduate there, but that was a long time ago when UIC was at risk of losing their accreditation from NAAB. It comes down to whether you want to do a BArch- 5 years or MArch 4+2 years program. Keep in mind IIT is a private school and their tuition is higher than UIC. Or if you want to have your cake and eat it too, get your BS in Architecture from UIC and finish your 2 year MArch from IIT or even Champaign Urbana. If you decide to follow the MArch path, do not go to the same school from your undergraduate degree. It does not make a lick of sense to endure another two years of education from the same faculty members as your four year degree. |
Question: How difficult is it to get into Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) for grad school?I want to go to IIT to get my masters in Architecture. I am currently @ Florida A & M University, and majoring in Landscape Design. I expect to graduate in 2011. While reading the Graduate Admissions Requirements, it says I'd need a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution for regular admission. Students with an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5/4.0 may be admitted as non-degree students. I currently have a 3.2 gpa, which is good, but I'm sure IIT's Arch program is really competitive, and I'm nervous a 3.2 won't cut it. It also reads, the GRE requirement may be waived for applicants to professional master's degree programs who hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. college or university with a cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 or higher. I'm positive my gpa will go up after this semester. Also, if you live, have lived, in chicago, whats it like there. I'm sure its really cold in the winter time, but I'm sure I'd adapt eventually.12 months ago
Best AnswerI graduated this past year from IIT with a bachelor's in electrical engineering and I'm currently employed at one of the world's most renowned engineering firms in the power industry. I can tell you that IIT's architecture program is one of the best in the world and student's from all over the globe go there. As you've said, it is also one of the most competitive departments in the university. Most of the architectural undergrads go back to IIT for grad school, just because I've heard that it takes more than a bachelor's to land a job anywhere in the architecture field. If you're looking to challenge yourself and give yourself the best opportunity to get ahead in the industry, IIT is the way to go. They have the latest and greatest technology and the professors are better than you'll find anywhere else. The campus is located on the south side of Chicago, from 31st to 35th, along state street. There's 2 cta train stops on campus, that will take you anywhere you need to go, including downtown. The campus is also right across the dan ryan from White Sox Park. There's plenty other sports teams as well. Tons of museums, concerts, plays, whatever you can ask for. And how could I foget, Chicago Styled Pizza. If you do make it to the windy city, I highly, highly suggest Giordanos' deep dish pizza. One great thing about IIT is that you will meet people from all over the world (unlike state schools, who usually only get students from that state) and learn so many new things about other cultures. Just on my freshman dorm room floor alone, we had people from Nigeria, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, China, Japan, Russia, Poland, and Korea, and that's not including people from other parts of the U.S. (I think I was the only Chicago native on the floor). This mesh of cultures and ideas makes for a great campus, student life, many activities, clubs, and organizations, and social interactions. I strongly urge you to apply for Grad School at IIT. Also, get in contact with graduate admissions and find out when they're doing tours of the school and check us out. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck in the future. by the way, a 3.2 GPA is pretty impressive in the architecture department, so don't get down on yourself, keep your chin up, and keep working hard. And if you're not graduating til 2011, you have more than enough time to get the GPA up. |
Question: Is Illinois institute of technology very selective?I am interested in their civil engineering program. What about comparing it to University of Illinois- Chicago? What is the average high school GPA to get into these school?33 months ago
Best AnswerIIT is selective, but not overly so. Both IIT and UIC are top-tier, REGIONAL schools. If your goal is to attend school in Illinois for engineering (and, you don't think you can get into the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), then I would apply to the Illinois Institute of Technology. It's hard to say what GPA you'd need, as this is only one aspect that admissions counselors look at. |
