The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is committed to providing all of its students with an education that balances in-depth study in select areas with a breadth of experience in the various disciplines that form the core of human knowledge. All programs of study share a commitment to the highest standards of academic quality, to a mode of study that nurtures critical thinking skills, to a self-conscious examination of questions of value and meaning, and to the development of those habits of the heart and mind intrinsic to a life-long and independent learner.
Our commitment is reflected in a faculty that is as strongly committed to teaching as it is to research. It is reflected in curricular practices that discourage students from concentrating in one subject area to the exclusion of all others. And it is reflected in the College’s encouragement of interdisciplinary areas of study, effective collaboration, and the development of leadership skills that can be applied across all areas of knowledge.
The College values and nurtures the distinctiveness of the Vincentian mission of the University. The interactions among its faculty and between its faculty and its students are characterized by sincere personal care. Significant portions of the curriculum speak to questions of social responsibility, ethical standards for behavior, and an active engagement with the people of Chicago and the world.

Undergraduate Academics
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences offers a wide range of Undergraduate majors, Graduate programs and Certificates.
Honors Program
Most students follow the Liberal Studies Program to meet their general education requirements. However, students accepted into the Honors Program fulfill general education requirements through an alternative set of courses. A student in the Honors Program pursuing a primary major in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences follows the requirements below:
College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Graduate Student Handbook
In addition to the DePaul University Graduate Student Handbook, the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Graduate Student Handbook includes requirements, rules, and regulations, for its graduate programs.
Upon admission to a graduate program, a student is to follow the catalog requirements in effect at the time of admission. A student who is readmitted or who changes their program or enrollment status is subject to the terms of the catalog in effect at the time of readmission or status change.
Graduate students assume the responsibility to know and meet both the general and particular regulations, procedures, policies, and deadlines set forth in this catalog and handbook. This catalog does not constitute a contract between the student and the University. Every effort has been made to provide accurate information. The University reserves the right to revise the content of its catalogs and schedules, and to change policies, programs, requirements, rules, regulations, procedures, calendars and schedule of tuition and fees; to establish and modify admission and registration criteria; to cancel or change courses or programs and their content and prerequisites; to limit and restrict enrollment; to cancel, divide or change time or location or staffing of classes; or to make any other necessary changes.All students are expected to adhere to the Student Code of Responsibility.
Academic Advising
Academic advising is an essential component of student success. Faculty work with graduate students not only on course selection and to monitor progress towards successful degree completion, but, more importantly, to be mentors and advocates through students' programs of study and beyond.
Degree-seeking students can find the name of their academic advisor on Campus Connect. Non-degree seeking students should contact LAS Graduate Student Services for assistance. In addition, MyDePaul is an online portal that supports your academic success. It is customized to your student needs and provides links to course resources and support services available to DePaul students.
Graduate Student Services
Courses and Credit
Students must be registered in order to attend and receive credit for courses. A typical course extends over a ten-week period (or an accelerated five-week period in the summer). All courses carry four quarter hours of credit (2 2/3 semester hours), unless otherwise noted. For specific start/end dates, please see the DePaul University academic calendar.
For students who work full-time, eight credit hours per term is the suggested maximum.
Graduate courses are numbered 400 - 799. Undergraduate courses (numbered 399 and below) will not be applied toward graduate program requirements. Students who want to enroll in undergraduate courses for personal interest while pursuing a graduate degree must submit an application for non-degree seeking undergraduate admission.
Pending the approval of the program director, no more than 24 quarter hours of credit may be transferred from another institution or, in the School of Public Service, through a process of prior learning assessment (PLA). The School of Public Service allows up to 8 credits to be applied to its Master's in Public Service Management through PLA. Please contact the Graduate Student Services Office for details.
Grades, Minimum Requirements
In a master's degree in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, a minimum grade point average of 2.75 is required to graduate. Some programs may have a higher minimum grade point average graduation requirement. A grade of D+ or D is unacceptable for graduate credit, and if earned in a required course, the course must be repeated or substituted as directed by the director of the graduate program. D+ or D grades remain on the academic record and are calculated into the cumulative grade point average, unless the course is repeated.
When a course is repeated, both grades earned are recorded on the academic record. They are designated as "original" and "repeated." However, only the second grade counts toward that degree requirement, is added to cumulative credit, and is calculated into the degree's cumulative grade point average.
If a student wishes to repeat a course more than once, they need permission from their graduate program director. Students who register for a course for the third time without first obtaining permission may be dropped from the course. All repeated course grades are calculated into the cumulative grade point average and only the last course grade applies to that degree requirement.
Graduation
Meeting Degree Requirements
Students must successfully complete all of the degree requirements as listed in departmental or program sections of the catalog under which they were admitted. All requirements must be completed by the grading deadline of the degree conferral quarter.
Earning Degrees with Distinction
Requirements for earning a degree with distinction vary by program. Unless otherwise indicated, the minimum cumulative grade point average for distinction is 3.75. Additional criteria need to be met in many programs, such as passing a comprehensive examination or writing a thesis with distinction. Refer to your program for specific requirements on minimum grade point average or additional criteria for earning distinction.
Degree and Certificate Conferral
Applying for degree/certificate conferral requires the anticipated completion by the stated deadline of all program requirements including completion of all course work plus any of the followi ng that apply: program standards, field experiences, thesis and/or dissertation requirements, qualifying or comprehensive exams, language proficiency, and the minimum GPA requirement for graduation. Submitting the degree/certificate conferral application does not guarantee the conferral (granting) of a degree or certificate from DePaul University. Degree and certificate requirements are reviewed at the end of the expected completion term indicated.
In order to have the degree/certificate conferred, students may not have any outstanding incomplete grades, transfer credit, grade changes, substitutes, or waivers. All exams must be completed and graded, and theses/dissertations or other capstone projects must be graded and submitted. Failure to have these items complete by the end of conferral quarter will prompt the Graduate Office to deny conferral. If a student wishes to postpone conferral or is ineligible to graduate, they must reapply.
If a student meets all requirements, the degree will be conferred within 30 days of the end of the quarter. Diplomas and certificates are mailed to graduates without financial holds, by the Office of the University Registrar, generally within 45-60 days after the end of the term. Certificates are typically mailed after the diploma.
DePaul reports degree information to the National Student Clearinghouse monthly. Many companies and agencies use this service to verify awarded degrees. The degree will only be verified by the Clearinghouse if student privacy settings in Campus Connect indicate this as releasable information at the time the degree is conferred. Students should verify their privacy settings before the end of their completion term.
Commencement/Graduation Ceremony
The commencement/graduation ceremony is symbolic. It is held in June of each year. June and August degree conferral audits occur after the ceremony. Therefore, these candidates may not be accurately recognized as having earned a degree. Likewise, graduation with distinction may not be announced at the ceremony, but will appear on the transcript and diploma.
Deadlines for Degree/Certificate Conferral and Commencement Participation
The University confers graduate degrees/certificates four times per year, after the autumn, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The deadlines for applying for degree conferral are October 1 (Fall), January 15 (Winter), February 1 (Spring), and July 15 (Summer). Students can RSVP to the June commencement ceremony beginning in the winter quarter. There is only one commencement/graduation ceremony per year. All students whose degrees are earned in that academic year (Fall ~ Summer) are encouraged to participate.
Probation and Dismissal
A master's degree student in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences is subject to probation as soon as their GPA falls below 2.75. A doctoral student is subject to probation as soon their GPA falls below 3.0. To come off of probation, the student is required to meet with their academic advisor and follow the academic probation policies set by the program. If, at that time, the student has failed to raise their GPA to the required level of 2.75 (or 3.0 for doctoral students) the student may be dismissed.
A student who has been dismissed may petition for reinstatement. The petition, addressed to the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and the Graduate Program Director for the degree, must provide information that demonstrates a change in the student’s circumstances to an extent that would support successful completion of the student’s degree program. The decision, based upon the merits of the petition and the recommendation of the faculty of the student’s graduate program, may, if favorable, stipulate conditions of reinstatement.
Registration Procedures
Degree-seeking students enrolled at any time during the previous calendar year are eligible to register and do so through Campus Connect.
Non-Enrollment/Discontinuation
Students who complete a quarter and do not enroll for the following quarter at DePaul remain active and eligible to enroll until they are formally discontinued. Discontinuation occurs when:
- The student does not register in the quarter for which they were admitted.
- The student does not register for three consecutive quarters, excluding summers. In these cases students must seek readmission.
- The student has not made progress toward the degree for three consecutive quarters, excluding summers.
Candidates for theses, dissertations, and students on year-long study abroad programs are excluded from this rule. Students may register into their program's candidacy continuation or candidacy maintenance course to maintain active student status for up to 3 quarters, not including summer.
Registration in Courses in other Colleges or Schools
Graduate students should contact their Graduate Program Director to discuss their interests in other courses/subjects and seek approval to apply the course to their program requirements.
Residency
Whether in residence or not, all active graduate students, master’s and doctoral levels who will use the facilities of the University (library, laboratory, etc.) or who will consult with faculty members regarding theses, dissertations, or examinations, must be registered in each quarter.
Graduate Academics
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences offers a wide range of graduate degree programs and certificates, general academic requirements for which follow.
Master's Programs
Specific degree requirements are listed in the departmental and program sections of this Catalog. Some programs require a thesis, others do not. For current information about requirements, please check with your advisor.
Master's Program Time Limitation
Graduate students in master’s programs are expected to complete their program degree requirements within a six-year period from the first registration date for a course in the program. When a graduate student fails to finish before the end of the sixth year, the department or program director may recommend, on receipt of the student’s petition, in writing, an extension of time with or without additional courses, examinations, or other conditions.
Doctoral Program
The Doctor of Philosophy, the highest academic degree that DePaul University confers, is offered in the Department of Philosophy. The degree shows that the recipient has demonstrated proficiency in a broad area of learning, as well as the potential to explore and advance that field of knowledge by independent research.
Additional requirements are set by the Department of Philosophy and are outlined in this Catalog.
Students should contact the LAS Graduate Student Services Office or their academic advisor if there are any questions or concerns.
Doctoral Program Time Limitations
For graduate students in a doctoral program, the time limits to complete the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree are:
- between admission to the doctoral program and admission to candidacy: not more than four years; and
- between admission to candidacy and the final examination: not less than eight months, and not more than five years.
When a graduate student fails to finish before the end of his or her fourth year prior to candidacy or his or her fifth year post candidacy, the department or program director may recommend, on receipt of the student’s petition, in writing, an extension of time with or without additional courses, examinations, or other conditions.
Master's Thesis and PhD Dissertations
Some programs in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences requires a thesis to complete the master's degree and the Philosophy PhD requires a doctoral dissertation. The student is advised to consult their program's director or the DePaul Library's website for information regarding the required format of the thesis/dissertation and accompanying forms. Responsibility for fulfilling thesis/dissertation requirements lies with the student.
The student, after completing the thesis/dissertation, will submit it to the director of their thesis/dissertation committee for consideration. When the thesis/dissertation is fully approved, purged of all errors, and in the correct format, the student must submit an electronic copy to the DePaul Library. The Graduate Student Services Office will arrange for the electronic archiving of the thesis/dissertation with the library and the student's program.

Courses taken as part of a graduate degree program in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences may be double-counted toward ONE approved, graduate certificate program. If a student seeks another (second or more) LAS certificate, in order to earn the additional certificate the student must take at least two additional courses that cannot be applied toward the master's degree requirements.
e.g. A student pursuing the Sustainable Urban Development (SUD) MA degree and the GIS certificate, can double count GEO 441, GEO 442, and two SUD electives (remaining GEO GIS electives for the certificate). To add the Certificate in Metropolitan Planning & Development, a SUD degree student could double count MPS 571 as one of their Public Service courses, and then must take two additional courses as outlined in the Metropolitan Planning certificate requirements.
Admission & Aid
Information about admission to the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is found in the Admission & Aid section of the DePaul website.

Financial Aid
Information about financial aid is found here.
Graduate Admission
Applicants are admitted to the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences on the basis of their ability to complete programs of study and research prescribed for the master’s and doctoral degrees. Specifically, admission qualifications are measured by academic criteria. In accord with these criteria, applicants are admitted in one of three major categories: degree-seeking, non-degree-seeking, and student-at-large.
The admission process begins with an online application, found here.
Degree-Seeking Students
Applicants are admitted as degree-seeking students in either of two ways: full or conditional.
Full Degree-Seeking Status
The minimum requirements for this status are:
- Bachelor’s degree conferred by a regionally accredited institution.
- Scholastic achievement in undergraduate studies satisfying all requirements for entering a specific graduate program.
- Submission of all required supporting credentials.
- Unconditional approval by the department or program director of the applicant’s proposed course of graduate study.
Please note these are minimum requirements for full admission. The departmental and program sections of this Catalog provide additional, more specific and selective, criteria for admission to specific programs.
Conditional Degree-Seeking Status
The minimum requirements for this status are:
- Bachelor’s degree conferred by a regionally accredited institution.
- Scholastic achievement in undergraduate studies indicating a capacity to pursue successfully a specific program of graduate study.
- Submission of all required supporting credentials.
- Conditional approval by the department or program director of the applicant’s proposed course of graduate study.
A conditionally admitted applicant is eligible for reclassification to full, degree-seeking status when the conditions of his or her admission have been satisfied.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
The dean may admit as students those applicants who do not wish to pursue an advanced degree. Non-degree-seeking students may, at some future date, make application to a graduate program, but they are not accorded special consideration for admission. Students should consult the intended degree program's website for information about application requirements.
The minimum requirements for this status are:
- Bachelor’s degree conferred by a regionally accredited institution
- Academic achievement in undergraduate studies indicating a capacity to succeed in graduate course work (minimum of 2.50/4.00)
- Submission of official transcript from bachelor's degree granting college or university
- Approval by the director of graduate admission.
Students admitted as non-degree graduate students are eligible to enroll in graduate-level courses only.
When such students apply to a graduate program, the departmental or program director of their specific graduate course of study may recommend, in writing, to the dean that a maximum of three courses (12 quarter hours) completed by the student under the non-degree-seeking status be counted toward fulfillment of the advanced degree requirements.
Combined Programs
College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences students can apply to earn credit toward select DePaul graduate programs while undergraduates. In these programs, undergraduates take three graduate courses their senior year and complete a master's degree in a minimum of one additional year. (There is a "3+3" BA/JD program for incoming first-year students in certain majors, also.) Further information about these combined programs can be found within specific program descriptions in this Catalog.
Special Programs
Language for Liberal Studies Option
The Language for Liberal Studies Option (LLS), formerly known as the Modern Language Option/MLO, is available to all undergraduate students who wish to study a language beyond the level required for their degree.*
Students who choose the LLS may use a sequence of three courses in the same language to replace three learning domain courses.
These three course substitutions must be made in three different domains, and any substitutions must be consistent with the principle that students complete at least one course in each learning domain.
LLS substitutions may not be used in the Scientific Inquiry-Lab, Scientific Inquiry-Science as a Way of Knowing, or the Math and Computing requirements.
Students with a primary major in a modern language may apply the LLS to a three-course sequence in an additional language at any level. Students with a secondary major in a modern language may apply the LLS to any three-course language sequence beyond the language requirement associated with their primary major. This three-course sequence can be either in the language of their secondary major or in an additional language.
*Students with a two-year language requirement can use the LLS after they've completed their college's Modern Language Requirement. BFA students should speak to their academic advisor about using the LLS. Students in the University Honors Program are not eligible for the LLS.
Pre-Law Study
The Association of American Law Schools does not consider it appropriate to prescribe certain undergraduate degree programs for students who are planning to study law at the professional level. The Association does, however, consider certain skills and knowledge essential for later success in law and appropriate for study on the undergraduate level.
Pre-law study in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences entails advanced course work that further develops the capacities and skills essential for satisfactory performance in law school. Specifically, pre-law study sharpens:
- the ability to use the English language skillfully and effectively in oral and written advocacy situations;
- the power to think clearly, critically, and independently in situations requiring problem-solving ability and sound judgment; and
- the ability to use and understand statistical calculations.
Moreover, pre-law study is intended to promote an understanding of the psychological processes, economic systems, political organizations, and social structures essential to the study and practice of law. Students who are considering applying to law school should fulfill their open elective requirements with challenging, upper-level courses that expand the knowledge areas and skills mentioned above.
Admission to law school is based on scores achieved on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), collegiate performance, extracurricular activities, work experience, and letters of recommendation.
Students who want to prepare for law school should, whatever their academic major, consult with Prof. David Williams (david.williams@depaul.edu) in the Department of Political Science, or contact the Department of History (historyadvising@depaul.edu), where there is a pre-law concentration in the History major.
Study Abroad
A study abroad experience is an important part of a liberal education. The opportunity to live, study, and work with people from around the world provides students with a way to not only gain international competence and skills, but also helps them to more clearly understand their own identities and agency within a global context. Study Abroad programs are designed to emphasize social, political, historical, and cultural understanding through immersion in other cultures and societies.
Program lengths range from one year to one week. In traditional programs lasting one quarter or more, students live and take courses on site. Short-term programs are topic-focused tours led by DePaul faculty exploring specific aspects and issues of a country or society. These programs typically last 2-3 weeks and are offered during breaks between terms. First Year Abroad programs are for first-year students and combine on-campus study of a location prior to a one-week trip to that area.
Program fees ordinarily cover local transportation associated with course excursions, accommodations, and some meals. Short-term program fees also cover round-trip airfare. In addition students pay regular DePaul tuition for the credit received while abroad.
Courses taken through the Study Abroad Program may be used to fulfill Liberal Studies domain requirements (including experiential learning), modern language requirements, major field requirements, or open electives.
Please visit the Study Abroad Program website for current offerings.
TEACH Program
This program provides students the opportunity to complete in five years an undergraduate degree in a core arts and sciences major and a Master’s of Education degree with State of Illinois secondary education teaching certification in a content area related to their major. As a combined degree program of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Education, the program is collaboratively developed, governed, and taught by faculty from both units.
Students may apply to the Program during the spring of their junior year. They must complete the Junior Year Experiential Learning course TCH 320, and meet other application criteria prior to applying; these include completion of at least 16 hours at DePaul and a 3.0 GPA. During their Senior Year, students are required to complete a program capstone course and three 400-level courses that count toward both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. The Master’s year comprises teacher-preparation coursework that culminates with student teaching during Spring quarter. Upon graduation and the fulfilling of State of Illinois Certification requirements (which may require some additional course work in the student’s major and related fields), students are eligible to be certified to teach English, History, or Social Science at the 6th-12th grade levels.
A full description of the Program can be found in the College of Education graduate course catalog.
3+3 BA+JD Program
In the 3+3 BA+JD Program, high-achieving first-year undergraduate students are admitted simultaneously to the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Law. Students complete their first three years in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and their final three years in the College of Law. Students receive the Bachelor of Arts degree after successful completion of their first year of law school. Throughout the program, BA+JD students meet regularly with advisors in both Colleges and have access to a variety of resources to ensure their success.
Key Program Features
- Students earn a law degree (Juris Doctor) in a total of six years (three years undergraduate and three years in law school).
- Students benefit from new curricular offerings and collaborative activities created to prepare them for law school.
- Students receive early (conditional) admission to the College of Law.
- Credits earned in the first year of law school apply toward the BA degree.
- Students may opt out of the College of Law segment of the program and continue in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences during their fourth year.
- If students withdraw after the first semester in the College of Law, they return to the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences for the winter quarter.
Program Requirements
In order to maintain status in the program, students must demonstrate satisfactory progress toward completing their undergraduate coursework in three years, including meeting the Modern Language Requirement and necessary Liberal Studies Program or Honors Program requirements. Students must achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.70 by the end of their second year of study and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.70 in their third and final year of undergraduate study.
In addition, students must complete a series of two-credit courses, taught by College of Law faculty, prior to matriculation in the College of Law. They are designed to help students understand many aspects of the legal system as well as to complement their undergraduate course of study. The courses are as follows:
| Course | Title | Quarter Hours |
|---|---|---|
| PRELAW 150 | THE PRACTICE OF LAW | 2 |
| PRELAW 151 | RECENT CONTROVERSIES IN THE LAW | 2 |
| PRELAW 152 | THINKING ABOUT THE LAW | 2 |
In order to matriculate in the College of Law, students will be required to register with the Law School Admissions Council, submit the College of Law’s online application, comply with all character and fitness requirements for admission, and submit an LSAT score. The activities should be completed no later than the end of the Autumn Quarter of the participant’s third undergraduate year. The LSAT score will only be used for consideration of merit scholarships; it will not be a factor in the admission of the participant to the program.
