Our Campus: An Urban Oasis

With ample green space along the North Branch of the Chicago River, North Park’s campus is located in a park-like setting in a diverse neighborhood of Chicago’s Northwest Side. Some of the buildings on campus have been here since our founding, while others were added as the University and its programs grew. Today, our campus includes a state-of-the-art recreation center, an expansive library, and a new center for science and community life. North Park offers the advantages of small classes with expert professors who are committed to teaching, not only in their classrooms, but also across campus and in personal conversations. North Park subscribes to the principle that education addresses the whole person. This calls for a genuinely personal commitment from those who teach and those who learn. We hold the conviction that our campus offers the ideal setting for this process.
