I'm interested in applying to DePaul University but want to know more about their majors. I'm still unsure about my field of study, so if anyone attends DePaul or knows someone who does, I'd love to hear about their experiences with different programs.

DePaul University has a broad array of majors across several colleges, so you're likely to find a number of options that appeal to you. As you probably know, DePaul is split into several schools, including the Driehaus College of Business, College of Computing and Digital Media, College of Education, College of Law, among others, each offering a diverse range of majors and concentrations.

One of DePaul's stand-out aspects is the College of Computing and Digital Media. They offer well-regarded programs from game design to computer science and even cybersecurity - the college has developed a reputation for practical, hands-on education that prepares students well for the job market.

The School for New Learning at DePaul is quite unique as it offers flexible, individualized degree programs, especially catering to adult learners with a strong focus on integrating real-world experiences and knowledge into the curriculum.

The Driehaus College of Business is also highly respected, especially the entrepreneurship and marketing programs, and is known for connecting students with internships and job opportunities in Chicago's vibrant business community.

Remember, it's not just about the reputation of each program, but also about the classes, professors, resources, and opportunities for practical experience each one offers. Many students find it beneficial to look at the course catalog to get a sense of what they'd be studying in a particular major and to reach out to the department with any specific questions. Additionally, DePaul has a strong focus on experiential learning and students often get opportunities for internships, study abroad, service-learning, and more, which might influence your decision.

I hope this gives you a starting point for your exploration! It can be overwhelming with so many fantastic programs, but the right fit is out there for you.
