In the multitude of students so quickly gathered, in the high character of the instruction, in the variety and extent of original research, in the valuable contributions to human knowledge, in the uplifting influence of the University as a whole upon education throughout the West, my highest hopes have been far exceeded.            

-- John D. Rockefeller, Letter to the President and Trustees of The University of Chicago, December 13, 1910

The College has been providing students with a world-class education since the founding of the University of Chicago in the 1890s.  For over 100 years, undergraduates have thrived in an environment that encourages critical inquiry and independent thought. With programs and classes to engage the mind and challenge assumptions, the College continues its proud tradition of providing a rigorous, interdisciplinary education set within a supportive intellectual and cultural community.
