Why Choose the DePaul-Harper College Partnership
Save Money on Tuition
Students majoring in a program through the Harper UC automatically receive a rate 25% lower than DePaul's part-time undergraduate tuition. A DePaul degree becomes more affordable, with no separate application for the discount.
Learn Together in the DePaul Cohort Program
You'll progress through your program alongside a consistent group of classmates. Together, you solve real problems, build lasting professional relationships, and support one another from your first course through graduation. This structure keeps you on track and connected.
Flexible Modalities built for your success
Programs through the DePaul Harper University College are built on a hybrid class modality, meaning every quarter 50% of your classes will be online, and 50% will be in-person at the Harper University Center.
