Transfer Students

DePaul encourages all new students to feel at home. As you meet other students, you’ll soon discover that a large percentage of DePaul’s new undergraduates are transfer students. In fact, transfer ​students make up 40% of our university's population.

At DePaul, you’ll gain a high quality, practical education that balances academic knowledge with professional preparation. You’ll get the personal attention you deserve from our faculty​—many of whom are nationally and internationally known. DePaul was named by Careers and Colleges as one of 12 colleges that offers a top education at less-than-Ivy-League costs. And, DePaul’s College of Education is accredited by the Illinois State Board of Education.

We invite you to take a look at our transfer brochure for information regarding program descriptions, general information about certification, transfer course recommendations, online tools that transfer students can use and contact information for admission.
