The College operates under the governance of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees with public pricing set by the University of Illinois System, and has strategic partnerships with OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Illinois DCFS, the Ryan White Part B Advisory Council, and Huron Consulting Group.
