About CDM

We're the College of Computing and Digital Media - and much more. As one of the largest schools of technology and digital media in the Midwest, DePaul CDM offers 27 undergraduate and graduate programs in a wide and diverse range of fields within computing, cinema and interactive arts.

Welcome To DePaul CDM

As a part of DePaul University, we strive to embody DePaul's Vincentian tradition of providing accessible higher education to students from all walks of life. We also aim to continue CDM's own tradition of academic innovation, and our enthusiasm for exploring technology's limitless potential.

We're Chicago-Based, Globally Focused

We are located in downtown Chicago - our students live, work and play in one of the most dynamic and beautiful cities in the world.

But you don't have to come to Chicago to experience CDM for yourself. Our Online Learning options allow students to view and participate in individual courses and complete entire degree programs online - without having to leave work or home.

We encourage you to explore the CDM website further to read more about our mission and history, our academics and the people that make DePaul CDM a great place to learn.
