Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) is a public state university located in Chicago, Illinois. The main campus is located in the community area of North Park with three additional campuses in the metropolitan area. Tracing its founding to 1867, it was first established as a separate branch of a public college in 1949. NEIU serves 12,000 students in the region and is a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution. NEIU has one of the longest running free form community radio stations, WZRD Chicago 88.3 FM. == History == The origins of the school can be traced to Cook County Normal School (now Chicago State University), which was founded in 1867 in Englewood, Illinois. That school became known as Chicago Teachers College after three name changes. In 1949, a branch of Chicago Teachers College was established on the North Side of Chicago. Chicago Teachers College (North Side) relocated to the present site of the university in 1961. The school changed its name again in 1965 to Illinois Teachers' College: Chicago North after the state of Illinois assumed control of the college. In 1967, the college became an independent institution as Northeastern Illinois State College. In 1971, Northeastern Illinois was granted university status. It was given a mandate by the Illinois Legislature "to offer such courses of instruction as shall best serve to qualify teachers for the schools of the State; and to offer such other courses of instruction, conduct such research and offer such public services as are prescribed by the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities or its successor." In January 1996, Northeastern Illinois University established its own Board of Trustees. For the 2016 Fall semester, Northeastern Illinois University will have on-campus housing. The school's demographics are: 45% White, 25% Hispanic, 10% African American, 8% Asian and 12% other/unknown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】NEIU Facts )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northeastern Illinois University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
