Spertus College

What are the popular events and traditions at Spertus College?

Spertus Institute holds educational and cultural programming connected to Jewish learning, including lectures and discussions. These events can bring degree students into contact with scholars, practitioners, and the wider Chicago community.

Prospective students should distinguish recurring institute programming from a guaranteed annual campus tradition or a required part of a degree. Current event schedules are the best way to see what would be available during a particular term, especially for students who would have to travel to attend.

What are the student housing and dining options at Spertus College?

Spertus should be approached as a nonresidential, downtown study location rather than a campus with a standard residence-hall and meal-plan package. Students relocating to Chicago need to budget for housing and food separately from the reported graduate tuition and fees.

For in-person study, the practical housing questions are commute time, evening-class transportation, and whether a program requires only occasional visits or regular attendance. Applicants should not assume that enrollment includes a room, meal plan, or assistance securing an apartment.
