Transfer Enrollment

Enrolling in fall 2017 are 932 traditional-age transfer students (under 24 years of age) and 311 adult transfer students (24 years of age and older), compared with 967 and 427, respectively, in 2016.  Enrollment of traditional-age transfer students declined 4 percent, while adult enrollment declined 27 percent.  The decline in adult transfers is due primarily to the discontinuation of SNL's competency-based degree.  Historically, SNL has enrolled about 40 percent of all new adult transfer students.

 

The three largest colleges for total new transfer enrollment—Driehaus College of Business, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and College of Computing and Digital Media—together enroll 67 percent of transfers.   Ninety-one percent of new transfers are full-time, compared with 83 percent in 2013.

 

Over half of all new transfers are male (53 percent) in 2017, compared with 51 percent in 2013. Forty-eight percent of new transfers are students of color, compared with 43 percent of new freshmen. DePaul transfers include: 

• 291 Hispanic/Latino students (23 percent) 
  
• 155 Asian students (12 percent) 
  
• 110 African-American students (9 percent)
