We provide relevant and challenging academics as well as an Academic English as a Second Language program. We offer a quality education that can transfer to four-year universities, so our students are prepared to excel in the classroom.

Affordable Tuition

When it comes to your degree, we believe you should never have to compromise quality for cost. That’s why we combine both—so you can have more control over your education and your future.

*Living expenses will need to be calculated at a 5% higher rate if the student plans to live on his or her own and not with a family member.  Please note that these figures are estimates and are subject to change without notice.

Faculty with Deep Academic and Industry Experience

Faculty members are experienced, nationally recruited professionals who are dedicated solely to teaching, not research. Students will make valuable connections with faculty who have in-field experience and sit on business boards in the community.

Hands-On Learning

At College of DuPage, we’re all about learning by doing. We give our students plenty of opportunities to put their education in action—because we know that it makes them more capable to succeed. Our innovative internships, programs and facilities foster hands-on learning and give our students firsthand experience in tackling real-world challenges.

Welcoming Campus

We know that it’s easier to learn more when you feel like you belong. That’s why our campus culture is diverse, supportive, active and even personalized. We bring together individuals with a mix of backgrounds, cultures and experience, so all of our students know how to collaborate with a range of different people. You’ll find a place to fit in at College of DuPage—and when you graduate you’ll find even more ways to stand out.
