Driehaus College of Business

For nearly a century, the college has been committed to an urban and a metropolitan identification and to the recognition that its past, present, and future are linked inexricably to the stability and vitality of the city of Chicago.  For students in the Driehaus College of Business, this means studying and working in Chicago, one of the most dynamic business and financial centers in the world.  For graduates of the Driehaus College of Business, this means abundant career choices and opportunities. DePaul develops business leaders.

DePaul University is ranked one of the country’s top 10 best academic institutions for entrepreneurship education, according to the October 2009 issue of Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review. DePaul ranked eighth in undergraduate entrepreneurship programs among the top 10 in the graduate program category.

Thanks to the generous gift of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the New School of Hospitality Leadership has launched within the Driehaus College of Business. The University received its second largest private donation ever with this $7.5 million gift. DePaul now offers a bachelor’s degree in hospitality leadership as of fall 2009; ongoing fundraising will support other related degrees and programs in the future.
