Robert Morris University Illinois, formerly Robert Morris College, is an educational institution in the U.S. state of Illinois that has multiple sites, including locations in Chicago (main campus), DuPage, Bensenville, Elgin, Arlington Heights, Orland Park, Peoria, Schaumburg, Springfield, and Lake County. Robert Morris University-Illinois was formerly known as Robert Morris College; however, the institution changed its name to Robert Morris University-Illinois on May 1, 2009. It is a private, accredited, not-for-profit institution with 501(c)(3) status. It offers associate and bachelor's degrees through the School of Business Administration, Institute of Art and Design, Institute of Technology & Media, Institute of Culinary Arts, and the College of Nursing & Health Studies. In 2006, the Morris Graduate School of Management was established, providing Master of Business Administration and Master of Information Systems programs at the Chicago, DuPage and Orland Park campuses. The graduate program has now expanded to all locations across Illinois. Robert Morris University is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Like its namesake in Pennsylvania, Robert Morris University is named after Robert Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and financier of the American Revolution. However, the universities are not affiliated with each other.
Robert Morris was founded in 1913 in Carthage, Illinois, taking over the former location of Carthage College. In 1975 it acquired/merged with the Moser School of Business and moved to Chicago (eventually moving the Carthage location to Springfield). Since 1988 it has opened numerous additional location sites around Chicago and Central Illinois.
