As one of the largest cities in the country, it’s also home to world-famous institutions such as the Museum of Science and Industry, Field Museum and Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The professors are active scholars who publish scientific articles in the leading journals in their fields and direct research labs that involve undergraduate and graduate students.
