The Thrill of Seeing Your Coding Physically Come to Life

Pursuing a robotics degree at DePaul University enables you to see your programming and mathematical skills translate into physical systems in the real world. And the thrill of watching a robot move based on your commands can be incredibly empowering and exciting!

As the first bachelor’s in robotics in Chicago and one of the first in the U.S., our faculty are carving new paths for students interested in this fascinating, fast-growing field. You’ll have the opportunity to engage in groundbreaking research areas such as healthcare and biomedical engineering, human-assistive devices, and soft robotics. These projects are not just theoretical–they have real-world applications that can make a significant impact.

The robotics community is new at DePaul but growing fast. Connect with like-minded students through the DePaul Robotics Club, Air DePaul (which promotes drone flying and aerial photography) and our robotics labs.

For international students, this is a STEM-designated program, which can qualify you to extend your stay in the US post-graduation.
