About DePaul Students

DePaul students are an ideal pool of candidates for any organization interested in learning, improving and growing over time.

Practical Education

DePaul combines the best of a private university education with strong practical applications of what students learn in the classroom. Every single undergraduate student at DePaul completes an Experiential Education requirement — either an internship or other out–of–class project — before they receive a degree. It’s just that kind of preparation for the workplace that makes a DePaul student a great employee.

Experienced Graduates

According to student–generated data, 80 percent of our graduates work while attending DePaul. So when you recruit at DePaul, you’re getting far more than just newly degreed individuals — you’re getting candidates with years of work experience, who know what it means to contribute to an organization.

Diversity

DePaul naturally attracts people with a wide range of life experiences — people of all ages, races, ethnicities, backgrounds and experiences. Nearly 33% of our undergraduates are minority students; 20% at the graduate level. Your organization is undoubtedly looking for the richness of perspective such diversity can provide.
