The College of Computing and Digital Media has grown to have the largest graduate program in the nation, largely due to its many partnerships with Chicago's dynamic technology sector. In fact, Forbes recently ranked Chicago as the nation's fourth largest region for technology. Opportunities for our students and graduates abound.
Graduates of DePaul's College of Law permeate the city, from the bench and governmental offices to major corporations and prestigious law firms. The college's 12,000 alumni include state and federal judges, municipal, county and state leaders and two generations of Chicago mayors.
The diversity of programs and concentrations offered by graduate Liberal Arts and Sciences programs- from public relations and advertising to nursing to international studies-is mirrored by the number of opportunities available with area employers, ranging from governmental and international organizations to major pharmaceutical corporations and nationally respected consulting firms and agencies.
