The combined Bachelor’s + Master’s degree programs allow students to complete 12 graduate credit hours while they are still undergraduates. These 12 graduate credit hours will count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Current DePaul undergraduate students with junior status (at least 88.0 credits) are eligible to apply to the Combined BA + Master’s Degree Program in History. They should have taken a minimum of two History or history-related courses (in African and Black Diaspora Studies, American Studies, Anthropology and Museum Studies, Applied Diplomacy, English, Geography, Global Asian Studies, History, International Studies, Islamic World Studies, Latin American and Latino/a Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Sociology, Peace and Justice Studies, among others) and have a cumulative DePaul GPA of 3.00, outside and within LAS. Students interested in the program must file an application with the DePaul Admissions Office no later than the end of the spring quarter of their junior year.
Undergraduate History majors who are enrolled in the Combined BA + Master’s Degree Program in History can substitute HST 3XX: History Gateway and HST 390: History Practicum for 2 of their graduate electives. With consultation and consent of the History Graduate Director, up to 2 graduate courses in other DePaul graduate programs may be substituted for 2 graduate History electives. These courses may be drawn from (not an exhaustive list) Applied Diplomacy, Critical Ethnic Studies, English, MALS, Public Policy, Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, and Women and Gender Studies.
