If you are looking for the personalized academic experience of a small liberal arts college combined with the resources and opportunities of a large urban university, then the DePaul Honors Program might be for you.

The Honors Program brings together students from across the country in an interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates a well-designed liberal arts education with the cultural resources of a world-class city. Working in small seminars under the direction of dedicated faculty, Honors students join a lively and challenging scholarly community.​

We encourage any student with a strong commitment to academic study, a passion for intellectual exploration, and an intrinsic appreciation of learning to consider applying to the Honors Program. ​

We are looking for passionate students who are eager to grow as writers, readers, researchers, and thinkers; who are excited about working closely with faculty; and who are ready to contribute to the Honors community, both in the classroom and beyond.​ ​​
