The Carruther's Center for Inner City Studies (CCICS) is located on the south side of Chicago. It was established by the university over 44 years ago as part of its urban mission to meet the educational needs of Chicago's inner-city communities. Studies at CCICS are distinguished by their interdisciplinary nature in the social sciences and humanities with an emphasis on ethnic and racial issues as they apply to basic urban studies. A live, interactive television classroom (see Distance Education) connects CCICS with the main campus of Northeastern. The use of distance education technology provides students on both campuses with many educational opportunities.
