Arlington Heights campus

In 1978, Roosevelt opens its first satellite campus in Arlington Heights. As enrollment grew, the University relocated to the former Forest View High School. Roosevelt also offered extension classes in Logan Square, Downers Grove, Schaumburg and Waukegan.

Today Roosevelt reaches students online and at four campus locations: downtown Chicago, Schaumburg, Lake County and Peoria.

The Summer Reading Clinic, led by Roosevelt master’s in reading students, encourages reading skills and helps them build their social abilities. Read more in the Roosevelt Review.
