ACM offers three unique semester-long programs in Chicago to provide students with a full range of choices in a dynamic city:

• Urban Studies
• Chicago Arts
•  Business, Entrepreneurship, and Society

All three programs include a city-centered core course and a choice of academically demanding seminars. But each program also asks you to do independent work in your field and to complete an internship that will connect your academic focus to the world of work. You won’t just talk about the city, you’ll be in it: interacting with art and artists, doing business, learning a neighborhood. You won’t just read about it, you’ll be getting out, sampling the cultural riches, and meeting the people who make this city work.
