A private research institution in Chicago, Illinois, the University of Chicago (UChicago) is one of the nation's most prestigious. Its primary campus is situated in Chicago's Hyde Park area, where it was established in 1890. It is routinely listed among the greatest colleges in the world, and it is also one of the most selective in the United States of America, according to the Times Higher Education Supplement.

In addition to an undergraduate college, the university has five graduate research divisions, which house all of the institution's graduate programmes and multidisciplinary committees. The undergraduate college is divided into two parts: the undergraduate college and the undergraduate college. The University of Chicago has eight professional schools: the Law School, the Booth School of Business, the Pritzker School of Medicine, the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, the Harris School of Policy Analysis, the Divinity School, the Graham School of Continuing Liberal & Professional Studies, and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. The University of Chicago also has a law school and a business school. The institution has other campuses and centres in cities such as London, Paris, Beijing, Delhi, and Hong Kong, as well as in the heart of Chicago's downtown area, according to its website.

Academic disciplines such as economics, law, literary criticism, mathematics, physics, religion, sociology, and political science have benefited greatly from the contributions of University of Chicago scholars. The Chicago schools in various fields have been established as a result of the contributions of the University of Chicago scholars. At the University of Chicago's Stagg Field, the Metallurgical Laboratory created the world's first man-made, self-sustaining nuclear reaction in Chicago Pile-1, which was located under the stadium's viewing seats. The "radiocarbon revolution" in the carbon-14 dating of ancient life and artefacts was brought about by advancements in chemistry. Its research endeavours include the administration of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory, as well as management of the Marine Biological Laboratory and other facilities. The University of Chicago Press, the biggest university press in the United States, is also housed on the campus of the institution.
