DePaul University, founded in 1898 as St. Vincent’s College by the Congregation of the Mission, a congregation of Roman Catholic priests and brothers known as Vincentians, is a Catholic, Vincentian, and urban institution. DePaul University was founded with a commitment to education as service for the many, not privilege for the few. While valuable for its own sake, education is also viewed at DePaul as a means of addressing the problems and concerns of contemporary society. Respect for each student, faculty, and staff member serves as one of the guiding values derived from our Vincentian heritage.
Our Chicago location serves not only as a culturally rich and exciting setting for graduate education, but as the basis for interesting collaborations with and explorations of the city. Graduate programs draw both on the distinguished faculty of the College and also on the expertise of professionals in the city, who often help to make the important link between theoretical and applied knowledge.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers an exciting array of scholarly and professional programs. The two departments offering doctoral degrees, Psychology and Philosophy, are nationally recognized, while many of the master’s programs have earned distinguished reputations in the Chicago area for the unique niche that they fill. The College offers master’s degrees and certificates through twenty departments and programs in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. These programs provide students with opportunities for advanced scholarly study and research, preparation for a specific career or profession, and personal enrichment. Graduate students in the College have the opportunity to develop a broad and deep knowledge of their chosen discipline, practice the research methodology of the discipline, and acquire those competencies necessary for their personal advancement in scholarly, professional, or creative careers.
