"We take the absolutely familiar, the unprecedented amount of communication in our lives today, and teach students to think critically about it. How are they influenced by others’ communications? What are the dynamics of communication above and beyond content? We guarantee that, no matter what their major, our students become capable, reflective, knowledgeable, and effective communicators."

- Jacqueline Taylor, Dean, College of Communication

In the autumn of 2007, the Department of Communication became DePaul University's ninth college. In the summer of 2009 the college moved to expanded facilities at the Loop campus in the heart of downtown Chicago. The new space offers state of the art teaching facilities which include new computer labs, "smart" classrooms and a plush eighty-five seat theatre, to name a few. Students can look forward to a broader array of undergraduate and graduate communication programs and enhanced faculty-student contact opportunities.
