Welcome!
The Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is proud of our more than 140,000 graduate alumni living around the world. Our graduate alumni have gone on to distinguished and successful careers in higher education, research, business, industry and public service. While many decide to stay in Illinois, we have alumni living and working in all 50 states and more than 100 countries.
In any given year, graduate students make up more than a quarter of the student body here on campus. If you are visiting us as an alumnus(a), you know first hand the critical role you played here on campus-- teaching, mentoring, researching and learning. We value your hard work and years of dedication!
