The Designing DePaul strategic plan

Designing DePaul is the university’s strategic plan, providing a clear framework to guide our priorities, decisions and investments in the years ahead. Rooted in our Catholic, Vincentian mission, it focuses on advancing student success, strengthening academic excellence and ensuring long-term institutional sustainability.
