Online Philosophy
The online learning experience at DePaul University in the College of Education blends the rigor that is expected in our courses face-to-face with the convenience of taking the course from your home or office. Many graduate education students find a unique combination of courses fully online, on campus, or hybrid (some course online and some course face-to-face).
DePaul's innovative technology allows students to fully engage, participate and learn online while being taught by our dedicated faculty who are well-rounded scholars and practitioners who are active in the intellectual life of the university and in the schools, agencies, and communities DePaul serves.
While flexible our online programs also reflect the high standards set by DePaul's College of Education courses that our taught on campus as well as the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
