Chicago College of Performing Arts:  Comprising three conservatories: Music, Theatre, and Interdisciplinary, CCPA trains world-class musicians, theatre professionals, innovative thinkers, scholars, entrepreneurs, and socially conscious artists in the heart of one of the country's most creatively accomplished cities. 

College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences: CHESS serves as the foundation for Roosevelt's liberal arts education. Featuring more than 60 majors and minors, the University’s founding principles of social justice inform the work we do in CHESS, as a caring community of educators dedicated to finding socially conscious ways of rising to 21st-century challenges.

College of Science, Health and Pharmacy: The College of Science, Health and Pharmacy (CSHP) undergraduate programs combine challenging courses with hands-on experiences to offer comprehensive natural science, computer science, mathematics, nursing, and health training. Graduate programs include Master of Arts (MA) and Master of Science (MS) degrees.  The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program offers an accelerated, three-year curriculum that prepares graduates for a broad range of pharmacy practice settings. Future research scientists, computer and data science and cybersecurity professionals, IT specialists, health care professionals, and clinical mental health and school counselors learn the skills and find the support they need through CSHP’s dedicated faculty and staff who deliver our rigorous programs in state-of-the-art facilities, and connect students with research, internship, and clinical opportunities.

Heller College of Business: The Walter E. Heller College of Business at Roosevelt offers comprehensive business education to prepare students for leadership in the modern global economy. Our degree programs deliver foundational theory and skills-based applications for today's dynamic corporate environment, while also focusing on professional ethics and the importance of corporate social responsibility

Deans

College deans are the chief academic, fiscal, administrative, and fund-raising officers of the colleges they serve. They will provide leadership in the maintenance and improvement of educational standards and practices within their respective spheres by working with faculty to create an environment of intellectual excellence.

They will implement and carry out such academic and administrative policies as are determined by the Board of Trustees, President, Provost/EVP, University Senate, their colleges, and their academic units.

All college deans serve as members of the Deans Council and report directly to the Provost/EVP.
