About Programs for International Partnerships

Since its inception in 1992, Programs for International Partnerships has welcomed more than 10,000 international students and professionals to the United States. Utilizing strong academics of the University of Illinois Chicago and its close ties with all levels of government and professional organizations, Programs for International Partnerships customizes programs to meet the specific needs of groups of students, government officials, business and corporate managers, educators, and academic researchers.

Starting June 1, 2026, the Office of Global Engagement will centrally manage all activities previously administered by Programs for International Partnerships. Contact Shawn Conner-Rondot, Assistant Vice Provost for Global Engagement, for more information.
