Yes, the same standards apply to the three graduate management classes as your undergraduate management classes: a minimum of C- and major GPA of 2.0. Students who earn less than a C- in any of the three graduate classes during their senior year may face dismissal from the five-year program. Students dismissed from the program may finish their major/degree requirements at the undergraduate level.

You cannot not enroll in other combined degree program in the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business while you are enrolled in this one; other programs at different colleges may be applied for separately.

Your graduate GPA begins after you graduate with your bachelor's degree.

The three graduate classes taken during your completion of the bachelor's degree are billed at the undergraduate tuition rate with the same financial aid award, if applicable to the student. The nine graduate classes taken after the bachelor's degree is received are billed at the graduate tuition rate.

Keep in mind that after finishing your bachelor's degree program you will be eligible to receive a Double Demon Scholarship. This scholarship, available to all DePaul alumni, covers 25 percent of the tuition for a master's degree. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible. The scholarship becomes effective once you are officially admitted to the graduate program.

To determine the cost of the graduate portion of the combined degree program please check this year's graduate tuition rate and factor in the 25 percent Double Demon scholarship. Your total costs will depend upon how many graduate courses you completed as an undergraduate student.

You may defer enrollment for up to one year.
