DePaul Graduate Programs
DePaul’s combined bachelor’s and master’s degree programs allow you to earn both your undergraduate and graduate degrees in as few as five years (rather than the traditional six or more). Several undergraduate majors can be combined with graduate programs to create the right degree for you. If you’re interested in pursuing a combined degree, we recommend you discuss your options with your academic advisor, usually at the beginning of your sophomore year. Once you earn your bachelor’s degree at DePaul, you’ll receive the Double Demon Scholarship. You’ll save about 40 percent on tuition for your master’s degree with this scholarship and the graduate courses you took during your senior year.
Managing the modern organizational workforce is critical to every company's success. DePaul’s master’s degree in Human Resources (HR) is led by a team of experienced faculty members who are experts in their respective fields. They will help you develop skills and knowledge to oversee all core HR functions. You'll build your expertise in one of four career tracks: compensation and benefits, coaching and leadership, diversity, equity and inclusion, and HR/people analytics.
