Create with and learn from award-winning professors
Associate Professor Kelly Richmond Pope is the creator of the award-winning educational white-collar crime documentary “Crossing the Line: Ordinary People Committing Extraordinary Crime” and 2017’s “All the Queen’s Horses.” She uses these experiences to enhance students’ real-world understanding of fraud and how to discover it through forensic accounting.
“After my first year at DePaul, I got an internship in the internal audit area. I adjusted my learning focus based on what I learned in the internship. This allowed me to narrow the knowledge gap to meet my career goals.”
