Quad Cities Campus
With both Iowa and Illinois students offered in-state tuition rates, and with 80% of graduates staying in the Quad Cities to work, our campus in downtown Moline is truly serving its community.
Located on the Illinois-Iowa border, with the Mississippi and Rock Rivers at our doorstep, the Quad Cities Campus offers a beautiful, small-town setting in which to earn a nationally ranked graduate degree. Due to a unique regional partnership, students who live in Iowa or Illinois pay the same in-state tuition so that nurses from either side of the river can choose UIC Nursing for their next degree. We also enjoy robust relationships with healthcare partners in both Illinois and Iowa, giving students a range of clinical experiences, never too far from home.

The UIC College of Nursing provided me the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of clinical experiences, where I saw a full spectrum of approaches to critical care practice and patient management. It is only through participation in different types of practices that you are able to define your own practice.
