Community-Based Learning
Service learning is an important component of DePaul's Vincentian identity. IT students take three community-based service courses where they are tasked with solving technology problems--typically through a website or application--for actual companies. These courses allow students to work with employers across all phases of software development, providing an excellent opportunity for students to put the skills they've learned to use in the real world.
