At the University of Chicago, we take seriously our role in the creation of new knowledge for the benefit of future and present generations. Our research integrates theory and practice to address some of society’s most pressing problems.
Guided by a strong sense of civic purpose, our agenda-setting faculty crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries to transform the way we understand business, economics, history, law, literature, religion, physics, chemistry, and biology and medicine, among other fields.
Here are some of the University’s schools and centers engaged in research that informs public policy and expands knowledge to benefit our neighborhood, our city, our state, our nation, and our world. For a window into our full research enterprise, please visit the Research section of this website.
