The Chicago Semester

The Chicago Semester is an off-campus study program rooted in the Christian faith. The program challenges students to integrate their personal, professional, and public lives through internships, academic seminars, and urban experience. The internships and seminars provide students with the opportunity to learn about the city, engage communities, and experience biblical and theological reflections as part of their urban experiences. Students are housed in two or three bedroom apartments in Chicago neighborhoods. Students are expected to pay tuition, and appropriate program fees including room and board. Professional Semester and Social Work Practicum programs are available to seniors expecting to graduate in eight semesters.
