The university traces its history to 1890, and the present name was adopted upon the merger of the Armour Institute and Lewis Institute in 1940. Illinois Tech offers programs in various fields such as architecture, business, communications, design, engineering, industrial technology, information technology, law, psychology, and science. It is classified as a "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity." Illinois Tech has a notable faculty and alumni network, including Nobel Prize laureates, Fulbright Scholarship recipients, and a recipient of the National Medal of Technology. The university has a rich heritage with ties to 19th-century engineering and professional education institutions in the United States. It also gained prominence in modernist architecture through the influence of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, its Dean of Architecture, who designed the campus. Additionally, the Institute of Design, Chicago-Kent College of Law, and Midwest College of Engineering were merged into Illinois Tech.
