Graduate and Undergraduate Programs

• Employees with undergraduate business degrees may also be eligible for course waivers, further lowering the student out-of-pocket expenses.
• The cohort discount cannot be combined with any other DePaul scholarship or discount or DePaul financial aid award. Loans, federal and state grants, and non-DePaul scholarships are available, as well as flexible payment option plans, to those who qualify. Employees in this program may enroll in DePaul’s In-Term Payment Plan.
