Academic Excellence

In the Heart of Chicago

DePaul has one campus in Chicago’s business district and another in Lincoln Park. Chicago itself is an ideal classroom—and we take full advantage of it.

DePaul University is a well-respected and academically challenging university with a focus on inclusivity, personalism, and professionalism. Here is a place where equal importance is placed on community spirit and individual student success – ensuring you gain the confidence to find your place in this innovative city.

At the DePaul University Career Center, we believe the path to your successful future starts with you. By helping you understand and shape your passions, interests and skills, we connect you with majors, internships, jobs and opportunities so that you can take on Chicago—and the world—with vigor, knowledge and preparation.

The DePaul Career Center helps students build confidence, explore possibilities, and develop a powerful personal brand. We leverage our relationships with employers, alumni, faculty and staff to facilitate meaningful experiences, mentoring connections and partnerships that position students for success in their careers and their communities.

At DePaul, your “college town” is the entire city of Chicago — and it’s all yours to explore. Find everything from neighborhood boutiques to tech startups right outside your classroom. It’s often hard to tell where the campus ends and the city begins.
