DePaul’s Layered-Learning approach combines classroom knowledge, action and values. Students may take part in project-based learning, community-based service learning and real-world experiences connected to their programs. Service is part of the curriculum, with opportunities to partner with more than 250 organizations and apply academic work to community needs. Career preparation includes mentorship, support and experiences designed to build confidence and adaptable professional skills. The university has 10 colleges and schools, including the Driehaus College of Business, College of Communication, Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media, College of Science and Health, School of Music and The Theatre School. Students can also study law, education, liberal arts and social sciences, or continuing and professional studies. Ninety-seven percent of classes are led by faculty rather than teaching assistants or graduate assistants, supporting direct interaction with instructors. A 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio contributes to smaller classes and an intimate learning environment. DePaul’s campuses connect students with Chicago and the world. The Lincoln Park campus sits in the heart of a Chicago neighborhood and has the feel of a traditional college campus. Student life includes more than 350 student groups, Blue Demons athletics and activities across campus. DePaul enrolls 21,210 students, giving international students a broad university community while preserving access to faculty and campus support. Undergraduate and graduate applicants have separate application options, and virtual tours, in-person tours and information sessions are available for those exploring the university.
