BestCollegesOnline.com ranks DePaul "20 Incredible Colleges for Special Needs Students"

Best Colleges Online


BestCollegesOnline.com has ranked DePaul university as one of "20 Incredible Colleges for Special Needs Students.” This is nice to hear, as DePaul prides itself on providing the best possible education for all students. BestCollegesOnline.com ranks DePaul at number 13, and has this to say:

“The Chicago chapter of this Jesuit-run school wants to ensure that all students, even those with special needs, get the help they need to excel. Participants can seek out help at the Office of Students with Disabilities, but for additional support, the school’s PLuS Program is a must. The Productive Learning Strategies Program is designed to assist with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, Asperger’s, OCD or bipolar disorder. Throughout the school year, students in the program will get support, tutoring, advocacy and counseling time with an LD specialist.”



Although some at DePaul have referred to it being a Jesuit institution in the past, it is more correctly a Vincentian University. I hope BestCollegesOnline.com is able to make a correction in the future (but thank you for the recognition, which is appreciated).

Here are some of the student services they mention. All are worth a visit:

Office of Students with Disabilities

PLuS (Productive Learning Strategies Program) Program

Update (2:30PM)


BestCollegesOnline.com has corrected their information on DePaul to:

The Chicago chapter of this Vincentian school wants to ensure that all students, even those with special needs, get the help they need to excel. Participants can seek out help at the Office of Students with Disabilities, but for additional support, the school’s PLuS Program is a must.
