Chicago Center for Urban Life and Culture

Millikin University is affiliated with the Chicago Center for Urban Life and Culture. The Chicago Center is a convergence of the university, city living and urban work experience. Students from all majors find a support system of mentors, college instructors and friends to guide them as they learn about the vibrancy and challenges of the city in our action-based seminars, and complete professional volunteer internships

Offered year-round, all our programs combine experience-based classes with a volunteer internship in the student’s field of interest. Students live cooperatively in Chicago Center for Urban Life and Culture furnished apartments in Hyde Park, an integrated, lakefront neighborhood on the South Side.

Millikin students have taken advantage of this program for over 20 years and have found the experience not only personally rewarding but professional rewarding as well. Students can choose from a full semester at Urban Life or choose to participate in the January term, May Post-Term or Summer Term. All work completed at the Chicago Center is transferred directly back to Millikin.

Required courses include SO340, Field Study in Chicago – 3 cr; SO350, Chicago Communities and Culture – 3 cr and SO355, Chicago Internship or Practicum for 4-8 cr. Students can also work out directed study with Millikin faculty that can be counted as a part of their major at Millikin.

Students from Universities or Colleges other than Millikin can take advantage of this experience and receive college . Millikin University sanctions the awarding of in cooperation with the Chicago Center. Students must be accepted by the Chicago Center and by Millikin University to obtain this . Students should contact the Registrar’s Office at Millikin University for further information. Millikin University does not offer financial aid in the form of grants or scholarships or loans to ‘visiting’ students. Students should check with their home-university financial aid office to determine eligibility for financial aid resources.

Financial Policy

Tuition: Students attending Chicago Center for Urban Life and Culture (CCULC) pay their college/university of matriculation. CCULC bills the college/university of matriculation 80% of the advertised tuition-for-cr earned at CCULC. In cases where 80% does not meet CCULC’s audit fee, colleges are encouraged to remit the full amount so that the student is not invoiced for the difference. Note: Non- students pay the advertised audit fee for each term directly to CCULC. The audit fee is in place of tuition and in addition to the program and city activity fees.

Program Fee: The program fee includes a shared, furnished apartment which includes internet, cable TV, phone, and all utilities; a shared food account, class fees (including tickets to numerous cultural events); textbooks and in-city transportation including an unlimited transit pass. Note: The Program Fee is typically comparable to room and board and other fees. Note: Students who must stay for additional weeks to meet application requirements will be charged $200/week to cover extended room and board costs. These special accommodations must be arranged with staff BEFORE the term begins and additional cost will be included in the student’s invoice. Note: Academic Internship Deposit- Students who choose to have an internship option chosen and arranged for them prior to the beginning of the term must submit a $500 non-refundable deposit that will be applied toward their program fee.

City Activity Expense: The City Activity Expense is an estimate of direct out-of-pocket costs related to CCULC program events, e.g. lunch on a tour. It does not include personal spending money. Note: The student should consider this as part of the cost of the program in determining financial aid needs. The City Activity Expense is not remitted to Chicago Center, but is a required out -of-pocket cost to the student.

Miscellaneous Fees:

• Application Fee (due upon submission of application): $50 • Refundable Security Deposit (due upon arrival): $100
