What is a CIC scholar?
The CIC is the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, a group of Midwestern universities (the Big Ten universities plus the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago). CIC Traveling Scholars are doctoral students (students who have been admitted to the doctoral program) who have applied and been accepted as a CIC scholar. The Traveling Scholar Program enables doctoral students at any CIC university to take advantage of educational opportunities–specialized courses, unique library collections, laboratories–at any other CIC university without change in registration or increase in tuition. See the CIC scholars website at http://www.cic.uiuc.edu/programs/TravelingScholars/index.shtml First-year students may not be CIC scholars.
