Information for Firms
The School of Architecture’s annual Career Fair provides an opportunity to meet our nearly 400 undergraduate and graduate students and network with our community of emerging architects and designers. The School of Architecture offers pre-professional undergraduate degrees in architecture, as well as a professional Master of Architecture, MA in Design Criticism, and post-professional Master of Science in Architecture. Please join us for a chance to meet and recruit students from our diverse student body.
Representatives are welcome to bring displays, pass out free materials to students, and play videos or slideshows without sound. Some firms may be positioned in front of pin-up space, which may also be utilized. We ask that all participants stay for the full duration of the fair. The registration fee includes one table per firm, lunch for up to two representatives, and campus parking validation.
The fair will take place in person at the UIC School of Architecture, 845 West Harrison Street, in Chicago.
