Here at DePaul, diversity is one of our greatest
resources. Each of our students, faculty and staff members bring different
talents, skills, and ideas that help build and strengthen the DePaul
community. Collectively, we enrich the academic environment with a wide
range of experiences and perspectives.
A theater major from Canada. A computer science professor from Nigeria.
An accounting major from Korea. A law professor from Egypt. A music
major from Costa Rica. You'll notice a wide diversity in religious,
geographical, ethnic and cultural backgrounds of the student body and
faculty here.
Based only on those who report ethnicity in 2007, minority students make up approximately 30 percent of the most recent freshman
class. Nearly 12 percent of the class is Hispanic/Latino, nine percent
is Asian/Pacific Islander and six percent is African-American.
And in keeping with DePaul's mission to expand access to education,
approximately 30 percent of our 2007 freshman class are from the first generation
in their family to attend college.
These are just a few of the reasons The Princeton Review, in its annual
survey of the best colleges and universities in the United States, ranked
DePaul No. 1 in the nation in the "Diverse Student Population" category.
