Research Strengths

The UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) supports and promotes research across a wide array of disciplines, ranging from the humanities to applied and basic sciences.  Cross-disciplinary and pioneering in its approaches and methodologies, the strength of our research resides in the many tools and perspectives that together shed new light on critical cultural, social, and scientific issues.

Below are some selected highlights of our research program in each general category, including a growing area of research strength: data science.
