Combined degree programs enable especially strong and motivated students to complete two degrees on an accelerated timeline by sharing a pre-determined limited number of credits between the undergraduate and graduate/professional degree programs.
The Department of Health Sciences offers several combined bachelor's + master's degree programs that can be completed at DePaul, including combined degrees with the Master of Public Health program, the Occupational Therapy program, and the Master's Entry to Nursing Practice (MENP) program.
