About DePaul University Continuing and Professional Education

DePaul University Continuing and Professional Education (DePaul CPE) provides education solutions that help individuals and organizations reach their goals. Our adult students receive the latest knowledge and practical insights so that they can enhance their professional development or advance their careers. Our partner organizations benefit from employees with up-to-date expertise and skills that they can put to use immediately.

In service to both adult students and partner organizations, DePaul CPE courses leverage the knowledge of DePaul faculty and leading professionals, the university's close connections to the Chicago region and an extensive network of instructors and fellow students. As a result, our students are in position to succeed in such fields as Financial Planning, Human Resources and Training, Management, Marketing and Communications, and Paralegal Studies. We also direct students to other adult education opportunities throughout DePaul.

The formats and flexibility of our courses meet the needs of today's adult learners. DePaul CPE offers face-to-face classes, online courses and combined online and in-person classes. Our diverse course platforms allow adult professionals to choose a learning style that works best for them. Our courses range from three-hour seminars to 180-hour certificate programs and take place on all six DePaul campuses, as well as onsite at partner organizations. This array of options is designed to fit into the demanding schedules of adult students.
