Why choose Governors State University (GovState)

Programs

In every college GovState has stellar programs and star professors, all focused on delivering academic excellence in a small-class setting. Not only will students find the programs and courses they are looking for, they'll also find more than 80 student clubs and honor societies to dig deeper into whatever interests them.

Schedule

Since its founding, one of GovState's big ideas came from understanding that daytime classes don't fit many students' schedules. That's why GovState offers classes at night, online, on television, and at locations around the Chicago area.

Location

Govstate is in the heart of Chicago's Southland near I-57, a major north-south route, and I-80, the region's major east-west route. For those who travel by train, the Metra station is close enough to walk – along the Alumni Path that leads from the station to campus – or by free shuttle bus. And, the PACE bus service makes stops on campus.

Safety

GovState ranks as the safest public university campus in Illinois.

Post-study work information

Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical. Eligibility is checked for each program — see the program page.

Eagle Link does not guarantee visa approval and does not make immigration decisions.
