Since 1912, DePaul has been providing an excellent education in business. Our mission and commitment to be a leader means we change and update our programs frequently to keep pace with the dynamics of global business. We have established a tradition of excellent service to the business community of the Chicago area. There are more than 19,000 Kellstadt alumni who are making contributions around the world.

In September 1992, the Kellstadt Trust, which established the Kellstadt Center, announced a multimillion-dollar gift to the Graduate School of Business. The School, renamed "The Charles H. Kellstadt Graduate School of Business" in 1993, is one of the first 10 business schools established in the United States. Charles Kellstadt, once CEO and chairman of Sears, Roebuck and Co., was instrumental in our ability to grow and excel.

The DePaul Kellstadt Graduate School of Business is accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. That makes us one of only a limited percentage of U.S. business schools to be recognized by this prestigious -- and standard-setting -- organization. In addition, the part-time MBA program has been highly ranked in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Graduate Schools" for more than a decade.
