About

The Barat Education Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 organization, was established in 2000 prior to the sale of Barat College to DePaul University.  At that time, the Foundation was charged with the development and support of innovative educational programs and services that reflected the values and educational tradition of Barat College.

When DePaul University closed Barat College in June 2005, the Board of Directors voted to perpetuate and build upon the Barat legacy of education, leadership and advocacy.

Today, the Barat Education Foundation is committed to continuing and adapting the heritage and legacy of Barat College to our 21st century world.
