Ask Big Questions for a Better Tomorrow
At DePaul's College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (LAS), you’ll join a community that doesn’t just study the world—we question it, challenge it and work to change it. Your classroom stretches into the heart of Chicago—the city of big shoulders and even bigger ideas. The Liberal Studies Program's Chicago Quarter will make our vibrant city your classroom and our project-based learning approach will provide you with multiple opportunities to fuse what you're learning to issues that matter. Because liberal arts students don’t just ask “why”—they ask how can we lead the way toward a more just, more human world.
