Welcome to DePaul University, where we're proud to offer academic programs that have achieved national prominence.
Located in the heart of Chicago, DePaul is America’s largest Catholic university and the largest private university in the Midwest. Our faculty are known for their scholarship and research—four are Fulbright Scholars this year—but teaching is their passion.

Our students continue to earn distinctions. In a national accounting case competition for Hispanic students, DePaul’s students defeated 29 other college teams in a challenging four-month audit contest. A team of computer science students tied for second among U.S. universities in the world finals of the 30th annual International Collegiate Programming Contest.

We were delighted last year when the Princeton Review ranked DePaul No. 1 in its "Diverse Student Population" category. We work especially hard to reach out to first-generation college students, students of color and adults returning to school to provide them and all our students an extraordinary education in the honorable tradition of St. Vincent de Paul.

I appreciate your interest in DePaul and encourage you to learn more about our new strategic plan for academic enrichment at http://vision2012.depaul.edu/.

Sincerely,

Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M.

"DePaul University is not its buildings; those change. DePaul is not any specific program; those change too. DePaul is the collective body of women and men who believe in an idea: that an extraordinary education should not only be available to those with great means, but all those with dreams."
