Getting to Peoria is easy. Our campus is located just blocks away from an interstate that makes getting to Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis just a three-hour drive.

With Caterpillar Inc., a Smithsonian affiliate museum, a Civic Center that is a top 100 live-performance theater, and one of the largest medical communities in the Midwest, Peoria has plenty to experience during your time here.
