Graduate and Professional Tuition

Tuition, Fees and Other Costs
At DePaul University tuition and fees are set with careful consideration and may change as policies are reviewed. Graduate and professional students are generally charged by credit hour, except where programs offer a package or flat rate—which can simplify planning and budgeting.
