Summer Snapshot

In case you didn’t know: Summer in Chicago is where it’s at. And since it is summer… we’re ready to have a little fun with our admission events!

During these special events, you’ll get your first taste of DePaul and our relationship with Chicago: learn about our award-winning faculty and academic programs, tour one or both of our gorgeous campuses, meet our admissions experts to discuss the application process and merit scholarships. When the morning is done, you’ll still have all afternoon to have some fun in the Best Big City in the U.S.

This event is perfect for students and families kicking off the college search, and even better for students wanting to learn more about DePaul.
