Lincoln Park Campus

DePaul's Lincoln Park campus is the oldest, largest and most active of the university's six campuses. Located on 40 acres in the heart of Chicago's historic Lincoln Park neighborhood, this campus offers a traditional university environment. Approximately 3,000 students live on campus in DePaul's 19 residence halls and buildings.

The Lincoln Park Campus is home to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Theatre School, the School of Music, the School of Education, and the extensive John T. Richardson Library.

Our three-level Student Center, which opened in early 2002, offers one-stop access to student services, dining facilities, a cyber cafe and expanded space for organizations ranging from special-interest clubs to the Cultural Center. Other recent additions include the state-of-the-art McGowan Sciences Center and the Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreational Center, featuring four basketball courts, a six-lane pool and scores of fitness machines and weights.
