Located in downtown Chicago, an international hub for finance, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation, DePaul University offers students countless opportunities to stand out from the rest. Rankings and accolades can’t tell the whole story, but they do point to important aspects of who we are and what makes us unique. DePaul is one of the best in the U.S for its business, communication, computing & digital media, game design, animation, film, and theatre programs. There are several majors you can take to benefit from DePaul’s Fine Arts excellence: acting, performing arts, theatre arts, animation, costume design, game design, graphic design, playwriting, sound design.
Combined degrees of Bachelor’s + Master’s at DePaul in as few as five years (rather than the traditional six or more) is a great way for students to stand out among their peers. Combined degree students start taking graduate classes during their last year of undergraduate study; once they earn their bachelor’s degree at DePaul, they’ll receive the Double Demon Scholarship which together helps them save 25 percent on tuition for the Master’s degree.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has also classified STEM careers as having some of the greatest growth potential and the highest paying jobs for the 21st century. And many of DePaul’s undergraduate and graduate programs are STEM-designated, which is extremely beneficial to international students looking for work in the U.S. DePaul’s career center connects students to hundreds of Chicago-based and world-wide employers via quarterly career events. Some large employers that routinely hire DePaul graduates are Google, Deloitte, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, JPMorgan Chase, KPMG, AT&T, Target, United Airlines, VCH Health to name a few.
