DePaul University

For over 125 years, DePaul has been guided by one powerful question: “What must be done?” Rooted in Vincentian values and guided by a clear vision, we believe success is inseparable from a commitment to community. Here, learning is never passive. Humanity is woven throughout our lessons, mentorships and discoveries—preparing students to lead with compassion and innovate with purpose. Students can choose from over 128 undergraduate programs and 145 graduate programs, each held to the highest standard of academic excellence and designed to solve real-world problems. Through Designing DePaul, we are affirming our Catholic, Vincentian mission and charting a course for who we aspire to become. Mission: Forward is a global philanthropy campaign to elevate DePaul’s vision for purpose-driven education and community impact. From shaping a sustainable future to building economic opportunity in the heart of Chicago, empowering our students and faculty to build a better world starts with you. Become part of a community that challenges, supports and celebrates you. Join a place you can call home, explore opportunities and grow with people who will support you every step of the way. Rigorous academics plus real-world learning, mentorship and community engagement prepare students to lead and make impact . From Chicago service projects to global study programs, students build empathy, leadership and practical skills beyond the classroom. We have a supportive, dynamic campus life that blends academics, clubs, athletics and Chicago experiences with lasting friendships and mentorship.
