Welcome
Professor Michael L. Budde, Chair of the Department of Political Science, joined the DePaul faculty in 1993.

He received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1989, taught previously at Auburn University, and is a former director of DePaul's Center for Church-State Studies. He teaches regularly in DePaul's Program in Catholic Studies and the Honors Program.
Professor Budde's research explores the interactions of political economy, culture and Christianity. He has written on matters ranging from the role of Catholicism in the Rwandan genocide to the transformation of American Christianity by corporate capitalism. He lectures frequently to academic and religious organizations, and is a founder and former director of The Ekklesia Project, a non-profit network of scholars, pastors and lay Christians engaged in church-centered service and learning.
