Find your admission type and learn how to apply
Many students take a fairly traditional route and come to DePaul directly after high school. But not every path is the same. We provide an education that’s accessible to everyone — no matter what you're up to outside of class.
There are nine student types at DePaul. Find the one that best fits you and learn more about applying.
