Unlike semesters, which are typically 15-16 weeks in length, DePaul’s quarters are ten weeks in length, occurring in the autumn, winter, spring and summer. Since quarters are only ten weeks in length, and one week dedicated to final exams, many of our students find the quarter system challenging and worthwhile, mimicking the speed of the real world. Quarters tend to progress rapidly, be sure to refer to the Academic Calendar for important deadlines and due dates.
