Diversity and Scholarship

UIC Business is home to one of the most diverse student bodies in the United States. We focus our recruitment efforts and nearly $500,000 of college scholarships to increasing our diverse student body from the Chicago Public Schools and the City Colleges of Chicago through Future Business Innovators scholarships.  The student population at the Liautaud Graduate School of Business is global, diverse and focused on developing specific skills and knowledge to further professional endeavors. Nearly half of Liautaud students are international or represent domestic minority groups.

The college offers a range of courses and programs that foster an entrepreneurial spirit in our students. These efforts center in our Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies and the Department of Managerial Studies, who together coordinate classroom programs such as Entrepreneurial Student Teams Program, New Venture Formation, Technology Ventures and the Concept2Venture Business Plan Competition.
