MBA DePaul University Kellstadt Graduate School of Business (Chicago)

Recognized for Academic Excellence
DePaul offers a high caliber, challenging learning environment that is respected by employers, community leaders and other universities. Many of our more than 200 graduate and undergraduate programs of study have earned national acclaim. Most importantly, more than 93 percent of employers report they are pleased with the caliber of DePaul graduates.

Hands-on Learning, Practical Knowledge
DePaul's location in Chicago provides countless opportunities for class projects, research, internships and experiential learning programs that bring theory to life. Students synthesize knowledge across multiple courses to solve problems, preparing them to succeed after graduation.

A Passion for Service and Social Justice
Our nationally ranked service-learning program integrates the service concept into our curriculum and inspires many students to make a lifelong commitment to service and social justice. They complement the university's own dedication to serving first-generation and underserved student populations and to addressing social issues through more than 45 specialized centers and institutes.

Capitalizing on Chicago Connections
DePaul's long-term partnerships throughout Chicago lead to extensive educational and career opportunities for students in the corporate, civic and cultural arenas. Our faculty, active in research and consulting, bring real-world experience into the classroom every day. Our students benefit from the networks of their professors, as well as the more than 82,000 alumni who live in the metropolitan area.

Focused on Teaching, Focused on Students
Teaching comes first at DePaul — more than 97 percent of all classes are taught by faculty members, not teaching assistants. Students are considered partners in research and community action, and are often credited by name in publications and presentations.

Open Doors Deepen Relationships
Because the average class has fewer than 30 students, our faculty members know their students' names, concerns and goals. Professors are accessible and approachable in class, through regular office hours and via e-mail.

A Global Society within the Classroom
Driven by a respect for the inherent dignity of all people, DePaul welcomes students and employees from all ethnicities, religions and backgrounds. By routinely incorporating multiple viewpoints into academic and student life, we have become a model of diversity on campus. In 2006, The Princeton Review ranked DePaul No. 1 in the nation in the "Diverse Student Population" category. We are proud to be among the top 100 universities in the nation for conferring degrees on students of color.

mission

This mission statement embodies the principal purposes of DePaul University. As such it is the nexus between past, present and future; the criterion against which plans are formulated and major decisions made; the bond which unites faculty, students, staff, alumni, and trustees as an academic community. As a university, DePaul pursues the preservation, enrichment, and transmission of knowledge and culture across a broad scope of academic disciplines. It treasures its deep roots in the wisdom nourished in Catholic universities from medieval times. The principal distinguishing marks of the university are its Catholic, Vincentian, and urban character.
