What is best about UIS?

  • This is a state university that is not afraid
    of the word small when being described. Small
    class sizes, personal faculty attention, a small-town
    campus atmosphere, and an encouraging student
    life staff all connect with the state university advantages of low
    cost, state-of-the art technology and state-of-the-art housing in
    a unique internship-rich atmosphere.

What I Like About Being an Admissions Counselor:

  • I enjoy the travel
    and meeting many different people in many different
    regions of the state, while also counseling and
    advising students when in the office.
