Robert Morris University opening Arlington Heights campus

Robert Morris University announced Wednesday that beginning with the fall quarter this September it will open a new branch campus at 2123 S. Goebbert Road in Arlington Heights.

The campus will house evening classes for students in the School of Business Administration program.

Through the generosity of a major donor, the first 100 Arlington Heights residents applying will receive grants enabling students to attend classes with no student loans or tuition bills, according to a news release from the university.

The new campus is designed to expand RMU programs into the Northwest suburbs. Robert Morris presently has nine campuses in Illinois with the main campus in downtown Chicago. The evening program in Arlington Heights provides convenience by offering classes two nights a week and a third class taken either online, through an internship or an Innovation Center project. In many instances, students will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in less than four years.

The university also has suburban locations in Schaumburg, Bensenville, Aurora, Elgin, Waukegan and Orland Park.

A nonprofit, accredited institution, RMU serves approximately 7,000 students each year. The university offers associate and baccalaureate programs through its College of Nursing and Health Studies, Institute of Art and Design, Institute of Technology and Media, School of Business Administration, Institute of Culinary Arts, and master’s programs through the Morris Graduate School of Management.

Students interested in applying for classes at the Arlington Heights campus can call (800) 762-5960 to make an appointment with an admissions counselor.
