Start the next phase of your career—and life.
Are you driven to achieve? Passionate about your field? Ready to reach the next level? At CSH, your graduate school application is more than a form. It's a story. And an opportunity for us to help you write the next chapter.
To begin the application process, please submit your application online. You may submit your non-refundable $40 application fee at the end of the application via credit card or e-check or send a check/money order made payable to DePaul University with your supplemental application materials.
All applicants must submit official transcripts from each junior/community college, college, or university attended including DePaul University, if applicable. Credits transferred and posted on the record of a second school do not constitute an official transcript from the original school.
Electronic transcripts must be emailed to GradDePaul@depaul.edu directly from the issuing institution in order to be considered official. Other supplemental materials can be uploaded through the online application or sent as .doc or .pdf attachments to GradDePaul@depaul.edu or mailed to the graduate admission office. Please remember that we cannot guarantee books, DVDs or bound materials will be reviewed by the department.
Supporting materials may be required in addition to the online application and official transcripts. Please visit the program website for materials required.
Most programs require a one- to two-page statement explaining the applicant's academic goals, career plans, and reasons for selecting the graduate program. Please note that some programs require additional or specific information.
If required, confidential letters of recommendation should be written by individuals who are able to evaluate the applicant's capability to succeed academically at the graduate level. Please notify recommenders that the letter should include the applicant's full name and the name of the program to which the applicant is applying.
Letters of recommendation can be submitted through the online application. They also can be given to the applicant in a sealed envelope that has been signed over the seal or sent directly to the graduate admission office. Letters of recommendation sent via email must be a PDF attachment on official letterhead and sent directly from the recommender to GradDePaul@depaul.edu.
Most programs do not require the GRE. Please visit the program website for specific requirements.
Applicants should take the GRE early enough to meet the application deadline. For information about the GRE, please visit www.ets.org or call (800) GRE_CALL (800-473-2255).
Deadlines vary depending on program. Please refer to the program website for specific application deadlines.
Only complete applications will be sent to the academic department for review. Applicants will be notified via email if any credentials are missing from their application. You also can check the status of your application materials through your application portal.
Applicants will be notified of their admission status via email and their application portal. Admitted students also will receive a welcome packet in the mail. At the time the application file is sent to the department for review, applicants receive an email telling them when they are likely to receive an admission decision.​​​ For the most up-to-date information, please log into your application portal.
